Flexible plain bearings for sheet metal in the food industry

iglide A230 clip bearings

The new iglide® A230 clip bearings can be easily clipped into sheet metals while still being retained.

Specially developed for the food sector, the material formulation is particularly suitable for machines and systems with food contact due to its optically detectable colouring, low moisture absorption and conformity to FDA and EU10/2011 guidelines.  ​

You need trays not only for baking cakes

We have developed iglide® A230 clip bearings for this purpose

In food processing, trays are not only used for baking cakes. In packaging and processing machines, many moving parts are guided or supported in constructions of thin-walled metal parts.  ​

The holes in these sheets are often imprecisely punched or lasered. Conventional plain bearings, however, generally require precise fits in order to ensure a captive press fit.

This is where the clip plain bearing series from iglide® comes into play. Due to the undercut, these bearings are captive even with inaccurate holes. The new material iglide® A230 additionally ensures that the system can be designed according to EU10/2011 and FDA requirements and is resistant to many aggressive cleaning agents.  ​
