iglide® JB bar stock - plate

iglide® JB bar stock - plate
iglide® JB delivers high wear resistance and low friction with low moisture absorption in a black material that blends into visible assemblies. It supports quiet, smooth motion at medium sliding speeds and machines well into flat wear elements.

When to use it: For visible, black wear plates that need low friction and long life on mixed counterfaces.
When not to use it: For higher temperatures in hygienic areas, see J350 or A350; for broader general-purpose use at lower loads, see J; for cost-effective plates, see B160.

Industry/Application Areas

• Visible panels, doors, and slides
• Appliance and device mechanisms
• Automation with mixed counterface materials

igus® plate stock provides flat iglide® slabs for machining wear plates, bearing blocks, glide pads, and custom flat parts. Plates are self-lubricating and maintenance free, supporting low friction and long service life without external lubrication. The large face area favors pocketing, counterbores, and nesting multiple parts from one blank, with broad material options for food, chemical, or temperature demands. Available in round bar stock, plate stock, sheet stock, plate strips, and custom profiles (upon request).

When to use plate stock

• Wider or thicker flat parts not economical in strips or sheets
• Faces needing pockets, counterbores, or tapped features
• Nesting several components from one plate to reduce setups
• Stiff mounting faces, large wear pads, bolt through interfaces
• Need the broadest choice of iglide® grades for a specific counterface

When not to use plate stock

• Long, narrow rails that fit a standard strip width (choose plate strips)
• Very thin liners or shims with tight height limits (choose sheet stock)
• Turned, round parts (choose round bar)
• Very high volumes of one geometry (use catalog parts or molding)
