igubal® flange bearings igubal® flange bearings have been developed for supporting the centre or ends of shafts.
The housing is made from igumid G, an extremely impact-resistant, long-fibre-reinforced polymer. Suitable for temperatures from -30 °C to +80 °C in long-term use.
In standard flange bearings, the spherical ball is made from iglidur® W300 material, which is known for lowest coefficients of friction in dry operation and extremely low tendency to stick-slip. This is especially important for low loads and very slow movements.

Application areas Since igubal® flange bearings are designed for maintenance-free dry operation, they are especially suitable for applications in which access to the bearing is limited, in moist or wet environments or clean room environments. As a result, igubal® flange bearings are used for instance in wash-brush controls, in facade sunscreen systems, in material handling technology and in bakery equipment.
Assembly A precise alignment of the bearing housing is not required as the flange bearing automatically compensates for error. Special adjusting rings can be used to fix the shaft.
