New material for exposure to continuous direct sunshine: iglide® J UV
 
Advanced material - improved UV resistance
Today, bearings appear not only in the form of simple bushings, but also as special forms for special uses. In some instances, they are exposed to UV radiation for long periods of time. igus® has therefore developed a new material: iglide® J UV. The tribological properties such as friction and wear of the new black material are comparable to those of the very wear-resistant standard material iglide® J. Initially, a range of standard bearings with or without flange for a shaft diameter of up to 20mm will be available. Bearings made of iglide® J UV are available upon request in all previous standard dimensions of iglide® J as well as in individually designed special parts.
