iglide® J bar stock - sheet

iglide® J bar stock - sheet
Low-friction, general-purpose sheet for bonded liners, shims, and flat glide elements. Offers broad counterface compatibility, low wear, and low moisture uptake for clean, maintenance-free sliding layers in compact mechanisms.

When to use it: For non-compliant, general-purpose low-friction sheets with steady wear at low to medium loads.
When not to use it: For food contact, see A160 or A180; for large 1000 × 1000 mm panels at fixed thickness, see REC200.

Industry/Application Areas

• Automation and packaging equipment
• Device and lab mechanisms
• General guides and wear layers

igus® sheet stock provides thin iglide® panels for shims, liners, and low profile glide elements. Sheets are ideal when a broad face at minimal thickness is needed to reduce friction, noise, and wear. You keep core iglide® benefits—self-lubrication, chemical durability, and long service life—while meeting tight height constraints. Available in round bar stock, plate stock, sheet stock, plate strips, and custom profiles (upon request).

When to use sheet stock

• Low thickness liners and shims with wide surface area
• Bonded or fastened wear layers on sliding surfaces
• Lightweight, low profile glide pads and noise reduction layers
• Quick profiling of flat parts from thin panels

When not to use sheet stock

• Parts needing deep counterbores, threads, or structural stiffness (choose plate stock)
• Long, straight rails better served by a fixed strip width (choose plate strips)
• Turned, round geometries (choose round bar)
• Very high volumes of one geometry (use catalog parts or molding)
