The TX2 bearings from Igus are not injection moulded like the company’s other iglidur plain bearings. Rather, these bearings have an interwoven design, each layer incorporating solid lubricants.
This not only means no lubrication but it also increases the mechanical strength compared to moulded bearings. Igus says these bearings are ideal for high mechanical loads and are three times stronger than their counterpart TX1. You can find out all about them in this new video.
