Flat knitting machines
The textile industry is driven by quality, precision and cleanliness. This favors the use of igus® products in flat knitting machines due to their fail safe properties and the complete absence of lubricants.
Clean igus® polymer solutions for textile machines.
Longer service lives,
less oil and grease
less oil and grease
The textile industry places top priority on components being free from lubricants and resistant to dust. Maintenance-free and tribologically optimized plastics from igus® ideally fulfill these and many other requirements.
igus® products are totally lubricant-free and impress with their high holding times even at high cycle speeds in textile machinery.
Application examples from the textile industry
Travelling cleaners
High speed process on a textile machine without twisting the power cable.
Textile machines
Energy supply systems for knitting machines provide for quality and flexibility.
Circular knitting machine
igubal® spherical bearings of the dimensional series E by their maintenance-free feature and the omission of lubricants prevent any failure through the sticking together of textile fibers.
Textile industry
Concentricity errors and shocks are compensated for by means of spherical rod end bearings in the support of the thread guide unit for the thread winder.
Spinning box
By the modification of the plain bearing partner plastic-metal into plastic-plastic, a conversion in the integral design was possible by the use of plastic components.
Moving cleaner for textile machines
Preassembled energy supply system on moving cleaner for textile machines.
Textile machine
To prevent static charges on the bobbins, electrically conductive bushings are used in textile machinery construction.
Seam recognition sensor
This machine weaves and prints terry cloth hand towels.
Foam cutter
The cutting wire is moved along the vertical axis by two DryLin® ZLW toothed belt shafts.
Indexing table in a shoe manufacturing facility
The lubrication-free xiros® 2-hole flange bearing is used in an indexing table of a shoe machinery manufacturer.
Leather cutting machine
The cutting head in this application can perform work with flexibility and speed.
Leather industry
Precise and durable - Polymer bearings for novel leather splitting machine.
Selected products for the textile sector
iglidur®
36 lubricant-free materials for the textile industry

igubal®
Maintenance-free and lubricant-free spherical bearings
Applications: combing and weaving machines, spinning mill and dyeing technology
igubal®: self-aligning bearing elements, made completely of plastic. With the igubal® type series, a complete system of self-aligning bearing elements is available for the design engineer: Self-aligning bearings are easy to mount, suit all angular variations and in many cases replaced special housings already.
Especially low-priced, maintenance-free
No lubrication, insensitive to dust and dirt
Corrosion-free, applicable in liquid media
Applications: combing and weaving machines, spinning mill and dyeing technology
xiros®
Lubricant-free polymer ball bearings
Polymer ball bearings are made of plastic cages, balls made of stainless steel, glass, etc., as well as inner and outer rings made of xirodur® plastic. They are light, resistant to corrosion and chemicals and possess a high specific strength.
Low weight and totally corrosion-resistant
Lubricant-free, maintenance-free and washable
DryLin® W
igus® linear technology – gliding without lubricant instead of rolling
Applications: Knitting and cutting machines, dye house
DryLin® W double rail system with sliding guide carriage
Free of lubricant and corrosion
Quiet and light and cost-effective
Applications: Knitting and cutting machines, dye house
