Maintenance-free pivot arm mounted in joining station

A swivel arm is used to attach the viewing window to the base component in the joining station. The challenge here: As the freshly injection-moulded plastic parts are always slightly different, it is necessary to adjust the joining position. Produtek has managed to dispense with a highly complicated joining mechanism by using a simple plug-in design and adjustable adjusting rings. For the swivel arm, the search was on for a suitable bearing that would allow smooth movement, last a long time and ideally require no maintenance.

plastic plain bearings with flange made of iglidur® X material are ideal for this application. The material is a true all-rounder that covers the most diverse requirements. The bearing works best at medium loads, sliding speeds and temperatures, has a very good coefficient of friction and is resistant to dirt and dust. Like all our plastic bearings, no additional lubrication is required thanks to the solid lubricants contained in the material, thus saving the usual maintenance effort.
