6 reasons for turned and milled parts made of plastic

Lubrication and maintenance-free

The solid lubricants in our materials ensure that the components do not require any additional lubricants.

Resistant to chemicals

Components made of plastics that are highly resistant to chemicals ensure trouble-free operation in contact with aggressive chemicals.

FDA-compliant

We offer you a selection of FDA-compliant materials that can be used in the food sector.

Temperature resistant

We offer a selection of heat-resistant materials that can be used in applications up to 250°C.

Lightweight

Components made of our plastics are lighter than those made of metal.

Predictable service life

With our CNC service, you can have the service life of your plastic components predicted for different materials.

The right material for your project!

We offer you more than 50 tribologically optimised materials for innumerable applications in which wear-resistance is a necessity. Irrespective of whether your application is exposed to high temperatures, contact with media or wear-intensive conditions – igus® almost always offers a solution.

An overview of high-performance materials

"We wanted to make efficient use of a short maintenance interval to replace existing PA bearing with customised bearings from iglidur®. The very fast quotation calculation and express shipment of the igus® online CNC service enabled us to procure the CNC parts in just a few days and get the production line back into operation on time"

Refer to our manufacturing standards

A caliper measures a plastic part on a technical drawing.

This guarantees plastic-compatible production and rapid machining of your turned and milled parts.

✓ The general tolerance ISO 2768-m/K applies for plastic-compatible tolerancingwith regard to length, shape and position

✓ Deviating from this, the following minimum tolerance widths according to DIN ISO 286 are normally possible:
(Caution: The minimum tolerances that can actually be realised always depend on the specific component geometry, the material selected and the production options available, and may be greater in individual cases)

  • Nominal dimension up to 30mm: IT 9/10
  • Nominal dimension over 30 to 180mm: IT 10/11
  • Nominal dimension over 180 to 500mm: IT 11/12/13
  • Nominal dimension over 500mm: Statement only after individual testing

✓ Holes can be configured as metric ISO thread (M) (other thread types are also possible after testing)

✓ A centre roughness value Ra of 2-3 µm is to be expected for the surface quality (corresponds to the typical values of finished surfaces in turning or milling)

These standards are to your advantage: We can calculate the prices automatically and your order can be processed more quickly. You save valuable time.

If you have different requirements

Checklist with checked boxes and two pens.

Requirements above and beyond our manufacturing standards are possible, provided that a prior feasibility check confirms this.After the individual check, the automatically calculated price will be adjusted if necessary.

Configure your wishes and receive direct price feedback.

Select the optimum material:

A variety of different iglidur® high-performance polymers are available to you. The optimum iglidur® material can be found for almost every application, from high temperature to seawater, from food to automotive. Various online tools and our experts are at your disposal for material selection.​

Specify tolerances:
The general tolerance according to ISO 2768-mK applies to the length, shape and position dimensions. This ensures production in accordance with the plastic. If your component has length dimensions with deviating tolerances, 
simply enter the number and the price will be adjusted automatically.

Configure holes and drill holes:
Holes and drill holes are automatically recognised based on your 3D model. This gives you the option of configuring threads and fits for your turned or milled part. The price is automatically adjusted accordingly.

Prioritise your order:

If you need it faster: Choose our express option and your components will be ready to ship in 3 days.

When and why CNC machining is worthwhile for your turned and milled parts​

Large variety of materials and material quality:

TriboCut semi-finished products in various colors and diameters, lined up side by side.

The large material variety of our iglidur® bar stock guarantees you optimum tribological component properties for every application.

High surface quality:

TriboCut machining with workpiece and tool in the cutting area.

Due to the process, CNC machining produces good surfaces - iglidur® components normally do not require any special post-processing for their sliding surfaces either.

Precise component dimensions with tight tolerances:

Technical drawing with hole and outer diameter dimensions Ø4 H10, Ø7.3 ±0.05 and Ø8.

You receive dimensionally accurate components with tight tolerances and fits. Narrow tolerance widths (up to tolerance grade 9 in accordance with DIN ISO 286) are usually feasible. Tolerance widths of 0.05mm are therefore no problem.

Economical for small to medium quantities:

Cardboard box with various special plastic parts for TriboCut.

CNC machining is often the most economical process for two to four-digit quantities, especially for large-volume parts with simple geometries.

See these application examples for yourself:

Sliding blocks for 2-post lift

Mechanically manufactured sliding blocks made of iglidur material for use in a vehicle lift. The sliding blocks, manufactured from a semi-finished plate using a CNC milling machine, are used to absorb radial and axial forces in a linear guide.

Rollers for belt deflection in an ironing machine

Mechanically manufactured rollers made of our iglidur® H1 are used in a fully automated ironing machine. The material scored with its long service life and low coefficients of friction under the influence of temperature. Bronze bearings were replaced in this case.

Component for a pasta sauce filling machine

One of our customers from the food industry uses our iglidur A181 for a filling machine for tomato sauces. The component is in direct contact with the food, which means that only an FDA or EU 10/2011 compliant material could be used. The component was mechanically manufactured from a semi-finished round bar.

Filling machine with a rotating arm and gripping mechanism.

Rollers for conveyor belt

A frequent application that can be solved by using iglidur® round bars are rollers or knife edge rollers. Depending on the wall thickness and component geometry, production in the injection moulding process is difficult to implement, which is why mechanical production from iglidur® bar stock is often an option. In this case, the rollers were used in a packaging machine.

Your questions and our answers (FAQ)

What does CNC mean?
The abbreviation "CNC" (Computer Numerical Control) refers to turning or milling machines whose movements are computer-controlled in order to produce more complex shapes automatically.

What is special about our CNC service for turned and milled parts? It is simple, fast and transparent: you no longer have to wait days for the price, but receive it immediately. If you change the material or tolerances, for example, you will immediately see the impact on the price. And you can also make a purchase decision immediately. The user interface of our CNC service allows you to request quotations or send orders directly at any time. And if you get stuck, our experts will be happy to advise you.

Who can order special CNC parts from igus? Our customers include both corporate customers and private individuals.

Are there any costs involved in using the online CNC service? No, using our CNC service is completely free of charge for you. After uploading your components, all you have to do is enter your e-mail address and you can use the tool immediately. At the end, you can request a non-binding quote (button: "Request quote") and then decide whether you like it and would like to order. Alternatively, you can also order directly online (button: "Order directly").

Why doesn't igus® offer the online CNC service for other conventional plastics or metals? Our CNC service is primarily aimed at "motion plastics", i.e. plastic parts in motion. In this first step, we therefore only offer our iglidur® tribological materials, which are characterised by freedom from lubrication, wear resistance and low friction.
