High wear resistance
iglide® L280 are used in the packaging machine. One critical choice behind using them is that they are cleaner as they offer a lubrication-free, clean operation. They have especially low coefficients of friction and extremely high wear resistance. The coefficients of friction also do not increase with higher surface speeds, so it can achieve slightly higher surface speeds compared to other materials: for instance, up to 4.9 ft/s in rotational movements and up to 16.4 ft/s in linear motion. Due to this wear resistance, the bearing wear remains low in long-term applications with high speeds on hardened shafts.
