Excellent coefficient of friction and wear with low to medium loads. With specifications such as low coefficient of friction and excellent vibration dampening, the tribo-polymer iglidur E7 has already proven its strengths as bearing and in the sliding elements of the linear technology.
 
Now, the material is also available as bar stock (round bars / plate strips). iglidur® E7 is especially suitable for steel and stainless steel shafts. This material dampens vibrations very effectively and is especially abrasion-resistant.
 
The low coefficient of friction of the material ensures smooth movements, reduces the required drive energy and has the potential for additional cost savings.

Tech up

40% lower coefficient of friction than PA6 casting
Quiet operation due to good dampening properties
Long service life with low to medium loads
iglidur® E7 is especially suitable for steel and stainless steel shafts

 
Cost down

Low coefficient of friction allows smooth movements and a downsizing of the drives.

Proof

Coefficients of friction 70% lower than those of PA6 casting. Test: rotating coefficient of friction [µ] at 23 °C, 1 MPa, and 0.3 m/s compared to the rotating coefficient of friction [µ] of iglidur® E7 (0.18), and the rotating coefficient of friction [µ] of PA6 casting (0.66).

Sustainability

No lubrication necessary
Reduced energy consumption due to smooth movements
igus® supports the circular economy of plastics and is investing in chemical recycling.
