dry-tech®: Improve technology without lubrication

More than 50% of machine failures are caused by either too much or not enough lubrication.
igus® dry-tech® bearings are an alternative for lubricated plain and roller bearings. igus® develops tribopolymers for continuous dry-running operation.
 
By avoiding lubrication, dry-tech® polymer technology attains superior service life: from -148°F up to +482°F at continuous exposure, from cleanrooms to extreme dirt exposure, from vacuum to extreme humidity.
 
dry-tech® bearing technology for:

• Applications without lubrication and for long service-life
• Extreme environmental conditions
• Lowest possible friction and wear values in continuous and intermittent operation

More than $700 million in maintenance fees are caused annually by excessive friction and wear due to inadequate lubrication
igus® dry-tech® bearings reduce your costs. A direct product comparison shows that you can reduce your current costs for bearing components by as much as 50%. In addition, further cost reduction potential is attained by using non-hardened shaft materials and by avoiding seals and lubrication systems.
 
dry-tech® bearing technology for:

• Up to 50% reduced procurement costs for your bearings
• Cost savings due to simpler bearings or by avoiding other bearing components
• Reduced inventory levels due to short delivery times as low as 24 hrs
