Short linear stroke against various shafts
The wear of iglidur® bearings in short linear strokes is to be tested. Among others, this involves analysing very short linear motions of 5 mm at high frequency, such as occur in actuators and in solenoid engineering. The intent of the test series is to determine the most wear-resistant iglidur® plain bearing material on various shafts for short linear stroke motions. An additional objective of the testing: wear rates for the service life calculation in the Internet (iglidur® expert).
The wear characteristics vary from iglidur® material to iglidur® material on different shaft/counter partners during the testing. The results show that iglidur® materials operate with lower wear on hard-anodised aluminium versus mild steel (St37). It is worth noting that each shaft material has a matching iglidur® material that optimises wear, and vice-versa.

dry-tech® test lab
igus® develops polymer materials that solve new bearing tribology application problems. Base-polymers, solid lubricants and reinforcements are combined in such a manner that the desired bearing properties are attained. These are validated in lab-tests based on practical experience in order to optimize the materials.
These tests validate the bearing system consisting of shaft, bearing and ambient conditions.
In the dry-tech® test laboratory about 135 trillion test movements are conducted every year.
