247 zero lubrication innovations
SPAD346C3-3 In the first half of this year, igus launched 247 new products, many of which comply with the “zero lubrication” principle. Once again, igus has added three new heavy-duty plain bearings for construction machinery, cranes and agricultural machinery, all of which are tested and proven. One of the bearings was developed based on igus recycled plastic recovered from production waste. New materials for plain bearings and linear bearings free of PTFE and PFAS, as well as new rotary ring bearings made of 50% wood and 50% high-performance engineering plastics are important components of igus’ sustainability strategy. The new detachable igubal flanged mounting bearing can reduce the replacement time of lubricated ball bearings by up to 80%, for example when bearings are close to motors on conveyor belts. 
SPAD346C3-3 The new 3D printing material and sliding film are both lubrication-free and explosion-proof protection (ESD electrostatic protection). Similarly, the new line system series with a hygienic design combines food contact characteristics with the concept of “zero lubrication”. In terms of intelligent condition monitoring, the wear sensor for self-aligning bearings further complements igus’ smart plastic solutions for bearing technology. The final example of innovation is the new evoloid gearbox. It is used in conjunction with the electric drive system, the first stage transmission ratio of 18:1, the required installation space is smaller, the price is 70% lower than the metal version, and no lubrication. “We look forward to having an up-close conversation with our users and letting them experience our products live and try them out for themselves.” Vogel said, “We can say with certainty that even today we can achieve much lower lubrication than expected. But in any case, our “zero lubrication” operation will not stop. We have a lot of development work to do.”
