For guide rollers and transport
rollers, igus has developed a system solution consisting of tube and polymer
ball bearings, which is now also available from stock in a light and FDA-compliant
design. The rollers for use in the labelling, packaging and food industry
consist of a blue PVC tube with two flange ball bearings at the ends made of
wear-resistant xirodur B180 with stainless steel balls.
Under the brand name xiros, the motion
plastics specialist igus has developed maintenance-free and, above all,
lubricant-free polymer ball bearings. Especially in the food and packaging
industry, this is a decisive advantage as there is no risk of contamination.
New in the product range is a ready harnessed system solution consisting of a
blue PVC tube as well as two flange ball bearings made of xirodur B180 with
stainless steel balls. "All components used in these new guide rollers are
FDA-compliant," explains Marcus Semsroth, head of xiros polymer ball
bearings at igus. "From now on, we offer this system solution in two
installation sizes with outer diameters of 50 and 63 millimetres
respectively." These ligh weight rollers are available from stock at igus
in lengths of 100 to 1000 millimetres.
Plastic system solution saves drive energy
Compared to stainless steel tubes,
the food-grade plastic tube weighs only about one third as much, which in turn
has an effect on the required drive energy when the rollers themselves are
moved, for example in film storage. Also the dry operating xiros polymer ball
bearings achieve less friction than lubricated ball bearings made of metal,
since the balls do not have to overcome the resistance of the lubricant. Here,
they have the advantage that they start much more easily than ball bearings
made of metal.
xiros: Comprehensive range of plastic ball bearings
Since 2008, igus has developed a
wide range of lubrication-free polymer ball bearings, which are already in use
in a wide range of applications. The service life of the xiros ball bearings
can be calculated by entering the respective application parameters. The most
widely used designs are radial deep groove ball bearings according to DIN 625,
similar to the available ball bearings made of metal. Further types are, for
example, axial ball bearings, multiple bearings, slewing ring bearings or axial
polymer ball transfer units.
