Wear resistant bearings fibre wound, not moulded

In this video the Igus TX2 bearing is introduced. This fibre wound plain bearing offers additional benefits to moulding, increasing its strength even further.

In applications where you want to change your metallic bearing for a plastic one, you might be concerned at the capabilities of the latter. Igus says plastic bearings are more capable than you may think, and in some cases, using the technology of a plastic bearing and creating something else is the answer.
