In an effort to continuously improve our product range and to address your specific needs, we are reviewing various shaft materials and extensively testing these with a variety of bearing solutions in our igus® dry-tech® lab.
You can find the results for our test results for St52 / gas nitrified here.
We are currently also conducting tests on the following shafts / coatings:
St52 / un-coated
C45 / un-coated
Piston rods / hard-chromed
St52 / salt bath nitro carbonized
C45 / galvanized
Wear rate [μm/km]
2iglide® Q
3iglide® G300
4iglide® Z
5Brass with initial lubrication
6Rolled metal with gliding layer
all tested iglide® materials exhibit significantly lower wear than metal plain bearings
the shafts of the metal plain bearings exhibit significant wear and are therefore unsuited for further use
We will gladly test your specific application as well. Simply use the contact form!
