Lift tables may not be the most impressive, but they are indispensable systems in material handling. They are used wherever loads need to be lifted to a desired height. With high load capacities of sometimes several tons and high lifting frequencies in multi-shift operation, the storage points are exposed to high loads. To ensure that they work reliably, the metal bearings usually used must be lubricated regularly, especially if they are exposed to the weather outdoors. With iglide® bearings made of high-performance polymers, you can increase the service life of your lift tables and reduce the costs associated with maintenance.
Advantages of igus® products:
No maintenance thanks to dry operation
No corrosion, suitable for outdoor use
Resistant to surface pressures of up to 200 MPa
Resistant to impact and edge loads
Plain Bearings for Lifting Tables
iglide® Q2: the durable high-load bearing
Wear-resistant and dimensionally stable at high loads
Maintenance-free after replacement of bronze bearings
In the galvanized lift tables from Porbisa, iglide® bearings replace the bronze bearings previously used. Their installation is quick, easy and clean. The effort and costs for lubrication during assembly and subsequent maintenance are eliminated.
Longer service life
In the lifting mechanism of the scissor lift tables, the British company Advanced Handling was using various metallic bearings that were frequently worn and had to be permanently lubricated. After switching to iglide®, the lubrication effort and the wear of the bearings has been reduced drastically.
Push chain drive with maintenance-free bearings
Innovative Hebe Technik GmbH relies on the use of push mast drive chains for its lift tables. iglide® Q2 bearings ensure a maintenance-free and virtually wear-free bearing that can also withstand high surface pressures without any problems.
