As a best-selling iglidur material it has both the largest catalogue range for shaft diameters ranging from 1 to 150 mm and the best price-performance ratio for classic plain bearings applications. It is best suited for medium to high loads, medium surface speeds and long-term application temperature of - 40°C to 130°C. iglidur G stands out not least because of its high resistance to wear and its insensitivity to dust and dirt, making it well equipped for a variety of applications, from spades to sausage toasters.
