Polymer used in water pump bearings
British igus company recently issued a white paper, this paper details the polymer bearings is ideal material used in water pump field.
Technical data shows the poly (L - lactic acid Iglidur sliding bearing can directly replace the standard graphite or carbon method.
Igus over the years the company has been in the field of research is applicable to pump a special polymer bearing material, have enough according to the findings released to now.
The actual test proved that using poly (L - lactic acid in the pump industry IglidurUW500 is feasible. Is public and report on the findings.
For a long time, the company has to supply two kinds of material in the field of rotational Iglidur X and Iglidur H370 is known.
In 3 years, through a large number of trials last Iglidur UW to the city, often due to Iglidur UW does not allow above 90 degree temperatures for a long time to use lead to the product application scope is very narrow.
As Iglidur UW500 development at the same time also achieved a breakthrough in terms of temperature. Now new type of polymer sliding bearing material can ensure temperature run all day in 250, even can also work under 315 temperature for a period of time.
