When to Use Plastic Linear Bearings & Linear Guides or Recirculating Ball Systems

Linear bearings are machine elements that perform a linear movement. Rolling or sliding elements transmit the forces that occur. In this white paper, two linear guide concepts are compared: sliding on plastics as well as rolling by means of rolling elements made of steel balls. Both linear plain bearings and linear ball bearings take over the guidance and positioning in classic mechanical engineering as well as in automation. But when should we use a plastic plain bearing and a rolling bearing with steel balls? Read this whitepaper to learn more.

iglide® vs. Conventional Plastics: Plain Bearing Materials Comparison

In contrast to a few years ago, people today ask themselves less and less whether they should replace a metal plain bearing with a plastic one. Plain bearings made of plastics or plastic compounds have long since taken root in almost all areas of industry and daily consumption. Plain bearings made of plastic ensure durable and high-quality door hinges in cars, regulate the flow of aggressive chemicals in industrial fittings, or support the loading area of dump trucks.
