igus iglidur AX500 food-safe bearings

In bearing points in the food and packaging industries, temperatures and speeds are frequently high. Ensuring that mechanisms function reliably requires durable plain bearing solutions that can continuously handle friction and heat.

The igus iglidur AX500 bearing provides users with a wear-resistant tribo-polymer that is electrically dissipative and can be used at high temperatures. This makes it suitable for maintenance-free applications with food contact.

Plain bearings made of the iglidur AX500 high-performance polymer help make bearing points maintenance-free and durable. Being electrostatically dissipative, the material ensures that the bags do not stick to each other and do not cause electric shocks. In very dusty environments such as flour processing, sparks can also lead to dust explosions.

As the material is also suited to high temperatures, it can be used in applications such as ovens and bottle cleaning. Its good chemical resistance means that aggressive cleaning agents will not harm the bearing. Nor is there any problem if the bearing contacts food, as the tribologically optimised polymer, with its embedded solid lubricants, requires no additional lubrication. The material also complies with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Available in standard dimensions (6–20 mm diameters), with or without a flange, it can also be made in special dimensions.
