Lose weight with the igus® dry-tech® diet
17/11/2014 igus UK Ltd
Bearing specialist igus® has launched a new video that demonstrates the potential weight savings design engineers can achieve by simply switching to igus® drylin® linear bearings. By replacing a typical steel shaft and steel linear bearing with an igus® RJMP® bearing and hollow aluminium shaft, the weight reduction of the system can be as much as 85 per cent.igus® drylin® linear bearings also offer a range of other advantages for engineers; for example, the bearings are self-lubricating thus allowing the removal of external lubricants in the system, which can attract contaminants and cause increased friction on the shaft. Additionally, as the drylin® RJMP® bearings are made of a corrosion-resistant tribopolymer that has a temperature range of -20 to +60°C, they are suitable for a range of different demanding environments and applications.
