iglidur® TX2 - new fabric bushings made of high-strength filament fabric
The new iglidur® TX2 plain bushings were developed for use in particularly highly loaded bearing locations. Due to its incorporated solid lubricants, the high-strength, wound construction ensures for a low-friction and maintenance-free operation - entirely without external lubrication.
Construction machines have a tough job: they have to operate reliably in every work environment and in all weather conditions. Because, as everywhere, failures cost money and must be avoided. We offer components made of high-strength filament fabric that stand out due to their high durability and long service life.
Benefits of igus products:
Maintenance-free and lubrication-free
Resistant to dirt
Resistant to vibrations
Highly resilient
Predictable service life
UV and weather-resistant
Cost-effective
For especially high loads
This is what we have developed iglidur TX2 plain bearings for:
Where injection-moulded plain bearings fail due to extreme mechanical loads, wound bushings play to their strengths. The extremely strong filament allows for maximum resistance with its special, interwoven design. At the same time, no additional grease lubrication is required thanks to the incorporated lubricants.
iglidur TX2 fabric bushings are particularly well-suited for agricultural machines and vehicles, the construction industry and mining. Wherever there are high loads, and corrosion-free and dirt-resistant bearings are required.
Coiled plain bearing for high load capacity
The tribo plain bearings made of high-strength filament fabric are used where very high loads occur. Here, the extremely strong filament in its specially interwoven design ensures the highest resistance and enables a maximum permissible compressive strength of 400MPa. The newly developed material was extensively tested at the indoor and outdoor test rigs in the 3,800 square metre igus test laboratory.
