Sept. 28, 2016
Sponsored by igus
Composite plastic bushings combine thermoplastics, fibrous reinforcements, and solid lubricants for tailored bearing solutions with predictable lifetime in a wide variety of applications. These bushings run without maintenance, external lubrication, resist corrosion and debris, fit precisely with little creep, conduct heat efficiently, and dampen vibrations while maintaining high compressive strength. In this tech talk from igus, learn the top 10 reasons to consider plastic bearings for your next application
