As ready-made systems with a tube made of aluminum, carbon, stainless steel or PVC, the ball bearings prove their worth as conveyor rollers for deflecting films and labels or for conveying goods. By using wear-resistant high-performance polymers as well as thin-walled tubes, they provide weight savings of up to 48% compared to metallic solutions. Their mass inertia is thus 42% lower, the energy required for acceleration is thus considerably lower, and the rollers reach the conveying speed sooner.

Tech up:
- Long service life thanks to lubrication- and maintenance-free plastic ball bearings
- Use in food and medical technology

Cost down:
- Cost-effective thanks to drawn precision tube

Proof:

Sustainability:
- Environmentally friendly, as no additional lubricants are required
- igus supports the circular economy of plastics and invests in chemical recycling. More at: igus.eu/sustainability
