iglide® J350 - plate strip

iglide® J350 – plate strip
iglide® J350 combines low friction and wear stability at elevated temperatures, well-suited for long, straight guides under medium loads. It runs quietly with dependable wear behavior on common counterfaces and machines cleanly for repeatable strip profiles.

When to use it: For medium-load guide strips that see heat and require smooth, quiet sliding.
When not to use it: For food-grade washdown near heat, see A350 or A500; for severe chemicals at high heat, consider X or AD500; for budget black strips, see JB.

Industry/Application Areas

• Automation and packaging lines near warm zones
• Transport and handling rails
• General guide pads with medium loads

igus® plate strips are narrow flat stock that minimize scrap for long, straight parts. You buy only the length needed while keeping a consistent width for quick cutting and repeatable wear rails or guide pads. Strips retain iglide® advantages: dry running, low wear, and material choices for hygiene and temperature needs.

When to use plate strips

• Long, straight wear rails, guides, or pads that fit the strip width
• Projects prioritizing scrap reduction and material cost control
• Fast cut to length with simple, repeatable fixturing
• Consistent width to streamline fixture design and throughput

When not to use plate strips

• Parts wider than the strip or requiring large pocketed faces (choose plate stock)
• Thin liners, shims, or low profile wear layers (choose sheet stock)
• Curved or complex 2D profiles that nest better on larger plates or sheets
• Turned, round geometries (choose round bar)
