Highly wear-resistant and fire-resistant

For rail technology

With DIN EN 45545, the new material iglidur RW250 meets the strict fire protection requirements of railway technology. In addition, the material formulation has been optimised for complete wear resistance and offers very good running properties in many applications.  ​

Safety for railway technology

We have developed iglidur RW250 for this purpose

The highest safety requirements apply to public transport vehicles in local and long-distance traffic. One of them is the fire protection standard DIN EN 45545 for rail vehicles.  ​

​

Plain bearings, which are used in the numerous mechanisms for seats, levers, flaps and doors, must meet these requirements in order to avoid endangering passengers if the occasion arises.  ​

These - quite legitimate - strict specifications pose great challenges for materials development in bearing technology . In addition to the plain bearing material iglidur RW370 already established in the industry, we have developed an even more cost-effective and wear-resistant material in the medium load range called iglidur RW250 . ​
