iglidur plastic bar stock makes it possible to cost-effectively produce components and profiles in motion. Exceptionally suited for individual product series or prototypes. Plates, round and hollow bars made of a wide range of different iglidur high-performance polymers are available from stock. The properties of each individual material make it a specialist for certain applications, such as an especially low coefficient of friction or high temperatures. With the expert system for bar stock the service life for plain bearing applications can be calculated online. iglidur plastic bar stock is used with great success in mechanical engineering, food and packaging industry as well as in medical laboratories and cleanrooms, to name only a few applications.

This machine for the production of technical brushes contains parts made of iglidur® bar stock that were designed and milled by the customer themselves.
In a tyre soaping station, metal bearings were used up to now, which regularly led to a breakdown of the system. Now, these bearings have been replaced with plastic bearings made of igus® bar stocks . This saves costs of several thousand Euro per year.
Plastic plate bar stock as bearings with a large contact surface withstand even a very high number of cycles in this application.
The "IceMole" is a melting probe, with which the polar regions, glaciers and as a long-term objective extraterrestrial regions are to be explored. For storing the ice screw, a component was needed that is water- and dirt-resistant and thermally insulated. Therefore, a bearing is used that was made of iglidur® A180 bar stock.
iglidur® bar stock is used to manufacture a microscope arm for eye examinations. The reason: it can be machined to produce customised plain bearings down to sizes measured in μm to ensure the necessary precision for examinations.
This prosthesis is an electrically powered finger. The joint at the base of the finger is moved directly via a gear motor, which carries along the middle joint via a flexible connection. All axes involved in this movement are mounted through plastic sockets made of the material iglidur® J. Altogether, eight bearings are integrated in one finger.
