The durable new high-performance engineering plastic iglidur J UV is suitable for solar energy application systems that require no lubrication.
Nowadays, sliding bearings are not only used in conventional industrial environments, but also increasingly used under special conditions. For example, sliding bearings in the solar industry require prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. To meet the requirements of these special applications, has launched the durable high-performance engineering plastic Iglidur J series. The newly launched model Iglidur J UV in this series Z has very strong UV resistance, high wear resistance, low friction coefficient, and good moisture resistance.
Solar energy systems and other outdoor applications often operate in extreme environments for many years. This requires mechanical components to have a long service life and be able to maintain a long standby time. In addition, panel adjustment in solar power plants such as tower or parabolic trough solar power stations is often achieved by installing rotating shafts, and the sliding bearings used here often pursue low cost and high stability.
For this type of application, has optimized the wear-resistant and long-lasting iglidur J material and developed high-performance engineering plastic iglidur J UV. This new type of UV resistant material can maintain stable performance even under continuous direct sunlight. Like all sliding bearings, iglidur J UV sliding bearings use solid lubricating components, making them lubrication free, maintenance free, and dust resistant. In addition, the long-term mechanical properties of iglidur J UV have been further improved, making it an ideal material for customers to build stable, reliable, durable, and maintenance free solar energy systems.
Iglidur J UV resistant to UV rays and wind and rain
Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and resistance to media, iglidur J UV is not affected by moisture and other environmental factors. The friction coefficient and wear resistance of this UV material are comparable to the standard material iglidur J. Its low friction coefficient and extremely low stick slip effect during dry operation make it very suitable for low-speed applications, which perfectly matches the requirements of solar tracking systems. In addition, it can also be used for high-speed applications exceeding 1 meter per second. Whether in low-speed or high-speed applications, its static friction coefficient is very low, thus avoiding stick slip effects. The sliding bearing made of the new iglidur J UV material is available in two models with and without flanges, with a Z-axis diameter of 20 millimeters. According to customer requirements, we can also provide other standard sizes and personalized special sizes similar to Iglidur J.
