iglidur® E7 bar stock

Excellent coefficient of friction and wear with low to medium loads

With specifications such as low coefficient of friction and excellent vibration dampening, the tribo-polymer iglidur E7 has already proven its strengths as bearing and in the sliding elements of the linear technology.
 
Now, the material is also available as bar stock (round bars / plate strips). iglidur® E7 is especially suitable for steel and stainless steel shafts. This material dampens vibrations very effectively and is especially abrasion-resistant.
 
The low coefficient of friction of the material ensures smooth movements, reduces the required drive energy and has the potential for additional cost savings.

Tech up

• 40% lower coefficient of friction than PA6 casting
• Quiet operation due to good dampening properties
• Long service life with low to medium loads
• iglidur® E7 is the specialist for steel and stainless steel shafts

Cost down

• Low coefficient of friction allows smooth movements and a downsizing of the drives

Proof

• Coefficients of friction 70% lower than those of PA6 casting. Test: rotating coefficient of friction [µ] at 23 °C, 1 MPa, and 0.3 m/s compared to the rotating coefficient of friction [µ] of iglidur® E7 (0.18), and the rotating coefficient of friction [µ] of PA6 casting (0.66)

Sustainability

• No lubrication necessary
• Reduced energy consumption due to smooth movements
• igus® supports the circular economy of plastics and is investing in chemical recycling. Learn more about the topic Chemická recyklace HydroPRS
