The xiros rollers consist of an anodised aluminium tube and two xiros ball bearings, which are lightweight, low friction and cost-effective in comparison with their metal counterparts. They also run without the need for lubricants, which may damage, discolour or deteriorate the integrity of the material or film during the processing.
Tuned to the specific needs of the packaging industry, such as food hygiene or FDA compliance, igus xiros B180 ball bearings provide FDA-compliant, self-lubricating and maintenance-free machine elements that help optimise machine design. Also available for the food industry are xiros ball bearings that are made of detectable magnetic materials, so that they can be found quickly and easily in the event of a system failure.
Using the igus online xiros configurator, users can assemble their own individual solution in just three simple steps. First, the desired inner diameter is selected - 8, 10, 12, 15, or 17mm; next, the appropriate outer diameter is added, either 30 or 38mm.
Finally, the required length of the aluminium tube is specified, which can be anything between 25 and 1500mm. After defining the three parameters, the item is added to the shopping cart and can be ordered online for prompt delivery.
