igus igubal spherical detectable bearings

The igubal self-aligning bearings line from igus has been extended with spherical detectable bearings. The line includes a range of lubrication and maintenance-free rod-end bearings, clevis joints, flanged units, press-fit and pedestal bearings.

Both the housing and spherical ball are detectable by standard metal-detection systems to pick up even the smallest particles of the bearings were failure to occur.

The bearings are easy to install, adjust to all angular misalignments, and can replace traditional metal bearings, which can weigh up to 80% more than igubal.

The detectable bearings are dry running, unaffected by dirt and dust, operate well in liquids and a variety of chemicals, and are corrosion resistant. They are suited to run in temperatures from -20 to +80°C and are able to absorb very high forces due to their vibration-dampening properties. They also possess high levels of compressive strength and elasticity.
