Ball-and-socket joints that compensate for misalignment
Igus has added a DIN 71802 polymer ball-and-socket joint to its Igubal
range. Suitable for use as a 90° coupling element in a wide range of
applications, from pneumatic cylinders to gas struts, the new joint is
available with M5, M6, M8 and M10 threads, and automatically adjusts for
any misalignment. The units are maintenance-free and corrosion resistant,
and are able to absorb low levels of vibration.
The wear-resistant inner liner can be supplied in any one of 20 different
Igladur materials to widen the application possibilities. Igus
ball-and-socket joints are currently being used in agricultural vehicles,
in automotive throttle lever mechanisms, the lift mechanisms in bicycle
trailers and in hygienic applications that prohibit the use of lubricants.
You can also predict the life of your Igus bearing application using the
company's online bearing lifetime calculator. The only requirement is to
enter some of the application parameters into the calculator fields. An
expert system, based on data obtained from practical tests, then
calculates the lifetime of your application online.
