Igus Inc: Spherical bearings

Igubal® spherical bearings from igus Inc. eliminate installation hassles encountered with pivoting bearings due to their self-aligning properties which diverts the need for exact placement of shafts and housing.

Feb 28, 2005

Made with high-performance plastics, bearings are lubrication-free and resistant to corrosion and contaminants. The polymer material is 80% lighter than steel, says the company, and delivers vibration dampening and maintenance-free operation.
