iglide® T220 - round bar stock

iglide® T220 – round bar stock

iglide® T220 is designed for tobacco industry requirements, free from non-permitted substances and built for clean, dry-running sliding. It retains low friction and dependable wear for guides and handling components in sensitive production environments.

When to use it: When materials must comply with tobacco-industry restrictions while providing low-friction, maintenance-free operation.
When not to use it: For direct food contact or high-temperature washdown, consider iglide® A350/A500.

Industry/Application Areas

• Tobacco processing and packaging equipment
• Clean handling guides and slides
• General dry-running wear parts

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.
