iglide® J350 – round bar stock
iglide® J350 is a wear-resistant, low-friction triboplastic that stays dimensionally stable at elevated temperatures. It is suited to rotational movements at medium and higher loads, combines quiet running with reliable wear behavior on common shaft materials, and meets stringent flame requirements for aircraft interiors.
When to use it: For medium to higher load rotations that see heat and require smooth, quiet sliding with low friction.
When not to use it: For extreme static loads prioritize W300; for harsh chemicals at high heat look to C500 or A500.
Industry/Application Areas
- Automation and packaging drives
- Transport rollers and pivots near heat
- Cabin and interior mechanisms with flame requirements
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.
