Fire resistant plain bearing

Tribopolymer and plain bearing
specialist, igus UK, has introduced a
new cost-effective plain bearing that is
fire retardant and classified according
to stringent UL94 with V0 fire
regulations. As a result, OEMs can
now benefit from an affordable and
reliable bearing that operates safely
over a long service life.

iglidur GV0 offers similar allround
properties as igus’ proven plain
bearing material iglidur G, such as an
extremely high load capacity at low to
medium sliding velocities and high
levels of wear resistance on most
different shaft materials.

Thanks to the V0 classification, the
cost-effective material is suitable for
use in areas with stringent fire
protection regulations.
