Maintenance-free iglidur guide rings​

iglidur guide rings made of different materials

Guide rings are used to support pistons and rods in hydraulics and pneumatics and to protect them from wear. Areas of application include gas springs, dampers as well as pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Guide rings made of iglidur high-performance plastics ensure the lowest coefficients of friction, have very low wear and withstand even high mechanical loads. In addition, they do not require any additional lubricants due to their material composition and can therefore be used maintenance-free.

Advantages of iglidur guide rings at a glance

No maintenance and lubrication

Since guide rings made of iglidur materials contain solid lubricants, they require no additional lubrication. The solid lubricants are released in tiny quantities so that the bearing point is always sufficiently lubricated.

Lubrication- and maintenance-free guide rings

Cost-effective

iglidur guide rings offer cost advantages compared to metallic solutions. Thanks to the self-lubricating effect , you save on maintenance costs and additional lubricants.

Cost-effective guide rings

Calculable service life

The service life of our products can be calculated using free online tools. The calculation is based on wear results that have been carried out as part of numerous tests in our test laboratory .

Guide rings with predictable service life

From stock or made to measure

We can supply guide rings from stock or made to order. The dimensions and material are customised precisely to your application. From a quantity of one and with no minimum order value.

Resistant to chemicals & media

You can choose from a variety of different iglidur plastics. Select exactly the one that perfectly matches your application conditions. Whether chemical resistance or use at high temperatures.

Chemical and media-resistant guide rings

Very resilient

Among other things, iglidur materials contain fibres and fillers for reinforcement. As a result, even high forces, continuous and edge loads are no problem for our iglidur® guide rings.

PFAS- and PTFE-free plain bearings

Due to the current discussion about a PTFE ban, we have compiled all important information about PTFE in relation to our plain bearings. Here you will also find a list of all iglidur materials that do not contain PTFE.

Knee joint prosthesis from Otto Bock

By using corrosion-free  iglidur plain bearings,  the corrosion problem was solved. Due to their low wear values, the plastic guide rings also  impressed  during tests in Otto Bock's in-house laboratory. Further advantages are: dirt and dust deposits do not affect the guide rings and therefore do not impair the function of the prosthetic knee joints. Additionally, they are silent when in operation.

    Decapping machine of Rink GmbH & Co. KG

    A guide ring made of iglidur J is used to mount the valve head when emptying bottles. This is resistant to chemicals and offers low moisture absorption. In addition, the guide ring is easy to install and is reverse compatible. This allowed the surrounding structure to remain unchanged. These bearings have been the Rink standardin hydraulic cylinders for some years - especially as they are available quickly and cost-effectively as catalogue parts.

    The iglidur guide rings not only help bearings function completely lubrication-free, but are also characterised by the best sliding properties and their chemical resistance. Higher efficiencies and less maintenance are achieved. The use of iglidur guide rings and dryspin lead screw technology ensures slow opening and closing of the valve.
