igubal spherical detectable plastic bearings

The igubal range of self-aligning bearing elements, completely made of plastic, has been extended to include spherical detectable bearings.

Both the housing and spherical ball are detectable by standard metal-detection systems to pick up even the smallest particles of the bearings if failure was to occur.

The bearings are easy to install, adjust to all angular misalignments, and can replace traditional metal bearings, which can weigh up to 80% more than igubal.

The bearings are dry running, unaffected by dirt and dust, operate well in liquids and a variety of chemicals and are corrosion resistant. They are suited to run in temperatures from -20 to 80°C and are able to absorb very high forces due to their vibration-dampening properties. They also possess high levels of compressive strength and elasticity.
