Polymer bush offers near zero wear
Article Abstract:
A new polymer bearing material is developed that looks ideal for industrial pumping applications, replacing traditional graphite or carbon sleeve bearings and bushes. The developer of the new polymer, Igus, claimed that using the new polymer bearing material (iglidur UW500) would help manufacturer's reduce costs, whilst at the same time improve pump performance.
