iglide® S200 - round bar stock

iglide® S200 – round bar stock

iglide® S200 is a wear-optimized triboplastic for gears and similar precision wear parts. It delivers low friction and consistent service life at low and medium loads, supporting quiet motion and clean, dry-running performance in compact mechanisms.

When to use it: For gear blanks and small wear parts that need smooth running and steady life at low to medium loads.
When not to use it: For harsh chemicals or high heat, consider iglide® C500 or A500.

Industry/Application Areas

• Plastic gears and micro-drives
• Timing elements, cams and followers
• Precision guides and small actuators

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.
