iglide® HSD350 - round bar stock

iglide® HSD350 – round bar stock

iglide® HSD350 is a hygienic, steam-sterilizable material designed for high-temperature medical, lab and filling applications. It resists corrosion and common cleaning media, maintains low wear at elevated temperatures, and supports repeated hot steam exposure without lubrication.

When to use it: For compliant, sterilizable components in medical or filling technology that face frequent hot steam and cleaning cycles.
When not to use it: For extreme chemical exposure without sterilization needs, see C500; for broad food-compliant high-heat resistance, see A500/AC500.

Industry/Application Areas

• Filling technology and bottling sterilization
• Medical and laboratory equipment
• Hygiene-critical automation components

igus® bar stock materials enable fast, flexible creation of custom components with standard tools or CNC machining. All iglide® bar stocks are self-lubricating and maintenance free, ideal for prototypes, low-volume runs, and geometries outside standard parts. igus® can also machine custom parts from bar stock with quick turnaround.

When to use bar stock:

• No matching size in the iglide® catalog
• Small quantities or special dimensions
• Tribo-optimized plastic needed for low friction and wear on a chosen counterface
• High compressive strength or elasticity required
• Rapid prototypes or design iterations
• Nonstandard or complex geometries

When not to use bar stock:

• A standard iglide® catalog bearing fits
• Very large volumes of one geometry (use standard parts or molding)
• Tribo properties not required and a non-tribo plastic suffices
• The full catalog of semi-finished products is available in the Downloads tab.

Note: Our bar stock is manufactured with excess dimensions.
