igubal® spherical balls are dry-running and maintenance-free

igubal® DIN ISO 12240 spherical balls are designed with our high-performance, self-lubricating plastic materials for dry-running, maintenance-free operation. They are also self-aligning, corrosion resistant, lightweight and have high compressive strength and elasticity.

We rigorously test our spherical balls each year inside of our 41,000 sq. ft. test lab in Germany. The data is stored in our online service life calculator, which you can use to calculate how many hours a specific spherical ball is expected to last inside your application. Simply enter your requirements and see your results instantly.
Benefits:
  • Self-lubricating, grease-free, dry-running
  • Reduced downtime saves on cost & replacement
  • Corrosion-resistant, very lightweight
  • High compressive strength and elasticity
  • Spherical balls easily replace metal housings
