These components are designed to be durable, maintenance\u2011free and cost\u2011effective compared to conventional metal alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advanced Materials Improve Durability and Operational Efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly launched pulleys made from iglidur\u202fJB are built to run directly on shafts without additional lubrication, significantly reducing dirt\u2011sensitivity and maintenance requirements. Laboratory tests indicate they achieve around four times the wear resistance of POM pulleys. The skate wheels crafted from iglidur\u202fJ offer up to six times the wear resistance compared with previous POM versions, and their lubricants\u2011free plastic design offers lighter construction, improved corrosion resistance and gentler operation on rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roller Adapters Reduce Noise and Protect Running Rails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the pulleys and skate wheels, igus now offers roller adapters made from iglidur\u202fP360. These adapters allow existing metal skate wheels to run on plastic mounts, rather than metal\u2011on\u2011metal contact, which reduces wear on running rails, cuts maintenance cycles and delivers quieter operation. Tests show up to three times greater wear resistance compared to conventional PA adapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Applications Across Automation, Medical Devices and Mobile Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These new components are ideal for a wide range of use\u2011cases, including height\u2011adjustable workstations, compact lifting systems and mobile medical equipment. Their lightweight, lubrication\u2011free and maintenance\u2011free attributes make them particularly suited to environments where contamination or frequent use pose challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/press.igus.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/press.igus.eu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>igus has announced that its new high\u2011performance plastic components\u2014including skate wheels, pulleys and roller adapters\u2014have entered series production and are now widely available for industrial automation applications.
