Engineering plastic bearings used in material handling

Engineering plastic bearings used in material handling
Almost no products like Plastic bearing, has so much potential - compression costs in the logistics technology, and rationalization. So far, the engineering plastic bearings for the contribution of logistics to optimize and reduce the process time is still relatively small. Igus company recently demonstrated its engineering plastics sliding straight line, the joint bearing solutions. Through these innovative programs, even in extremely harsh environments, can greatly reduce maintenance frequency and prolong life. Today bearing a variety of designs and models, allowing the material handling system has a unique structure.
Low-cost packaging and sorting system
Fraunhofer Logistics Institute (Dortmund) engineering plastic flange bearings for rotation sorting, automatic sorting of packaging. Bearing on the load-bearing frame and stop the device. Fraunhofer Institute engineers WinfriedSchroer of said: "As the need to tighten the bolts into the thin metal film, so either grinding the bearing pedestal assembly sliding bearing, or select the angle compensation flange rolling bearing engineering plastic flange bearing date most cost-effective alternative. "
Focus on the conveyor belt
WBS systems technology maintenance-free plastic spherical plain bearings for the conveyor as the components of the connection between the cylinder and lever. This joint bearing lightweight, and reduce the vibration characteristics of such applications can achieve very short cycle time. The ReichAnlagenbau company produces conveyor belts used in food industry, using a similar design. With plastic bearings, bearing units can cope with any challenge, such as wear, corrosion, long service life (two years of durable operation), resistant to cleaning agents and maintenance-free. Another case occurred in W.StrekerNatursaft company. Here, the iglidurJ plain bearings installed in the conveyor belt, instead of the need for lubrication of ball bearings.
Lifting platform
Another case of high-performance plain bearings lifting platform telescopic mast drive chain. Technology company in InnovativeHebe AlexanderSchmezer said: "Z, and W300 type of engineering plastic sleeve by using igus, we found an almost wear-free bearing system can withstand the enormous pressure for our telescopic mast drive chain , have been successfully to market. "
Stacking conveyor applications (Edag engineering design company), the changes under the impact load, the short straight run, and the turn of the rotation angle test igus iglidurG plastic bearings. Stacking roller conveyor, you need to meet the maintenance-free, dry running. This application, and other logistics applications (such as transport and distribution head, small tiles set in first class), just the company's products and igus consistent. Igus company's philosophy is both: "plasticsforlongerlife." At the same time, engineers and designers also pointed out other advantages of plastic bearings: dirt and excellent shock absorption.
Maintenance-free shelf access equipment
In a straight line technology, engineering slide bearinghave the advantages are numerous. For example, use "DryLinW linear bearings, shelf access equipment completely maintenance-free, and very quiet operation - the plastic damping can effectively reduce the vibration and swing impact. The guide can be extended to 15 m length, so the whole system is extremely flexible. Plastic components slide is very smooth, dual-rail system assembly work to a minimum.
All drivers, any form of modules to adjust - screw drive or belt drive. All bearings are lubrication-free, so it does not require any maintenance. Same time, they have a high degree of dirt.
