A dry-tech box from igus is a sample kit designed to help engineers find the right material bearing for an application. The box contains a set of card overlays, which filter the bearing choices by criteria, much like the company’s online configurator. The dry-tech sample box includes an array of iglide bearings, from iglide H for corrosive environments to iglide A350, which can withstand temperatures up to 356°F (180°C). The box also contains a bearing guide that highlights the key properties of each bearing to improve the bearing search. All igus bearings have dry-running properties, making them lubrication-free, maintenance-free, and long-lasting. Bearings are lab tested for durability, friction, and stability.
