Wear-resistant and quiet: xiros® two-component ball bearings

The two-component ball bearing is suitable for high-speed applications. The outer material provides stability, the wear-resistant inner material has a vibration-dampening effect.

The 3D-printed shell with undercuts ensures a high level of safety when the materials are connected. The blue material is extremely wear-resistant and responsible for the quiet operation.

Tech up

• Dimensionally stable and vibration-damping at the same time
• For higher speeds
• Silent

Cost down

• Long service life due to the combination of two polymers

Proof

• [Link pagenr="26371" title="Noise measurement in the igus test laboratory: 9dB quieter than xirodur B180 standard ball bearings" parameter="#section_6"]

Sustainability

• No lubrication necessary, so no environmental pollution

Innovation - Why is it a novelty?

• Combining the specifications of a soft and hard polymer to obtain a strong and quiet ball bearing at the same time

Effect - What goals were achieved?

• The development of a world first - with two components customers cover several requirements than with only one component

Usability / user benefits - What benefits do customers derive from the novelty?

• Higher axial load capacity compared to existing soft xiros materials
• Particularly advantageous at high speeds
