Discover igubal spherical insert bearings - the lubrication-free alternative to traditional UC ball bearings

Flange mounted bearing with plastic spherical insert bearing

Are you looking for a maintenance-free and cost-efficient alternative to UC ball bearings?

Our igubal spherical insert bearings are the solution! They comply with the DIN 626-1 standard and can be used in traditional F-cast iron housing, FL-cast iron housing and  P-cast iron housing, or in compact two-hole and four-hole flange bearings with standard 82mm or 94mm hole spacing.

Thanks to integrated solid lubricants, there is no need for regular maintenance and external lubrication, which has a positive impact on operating costs and the environment.

Our spherical insert bearings are up to 80% lighter and 40% more cost-effective than metal ball bearings. Especially in combination with our flange mounted bearing and pillow block bearing housings made from our plastic igumid G, they help to reduce the weight of the system, which has a positive effect on energy consumption.

    The advantages of shaft bearings with igubal

    Lubricants
    Lubrication - never too much, never too little, always the right amount

    Say goodbye to bearing failures caused by incorrect lubrication or contamination - our solid lubricants are released in microscopically small quantities to ensure constant lubrication. As dust particles and other substances cannot combine with escaping grease, our spherical insert bearings are particularly suitable for dirty and challenging environments.

    Chemical cleaning, damp environments, food contact?

    Our spherical insert bearings are characterised by their exceptional resistance to moisture, chemicals and corrosion.

    The food contact versions made of iglidur A350 and A180, which fulfil the requirements of the FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011, ensure safe use in direct contact with food and pharmaceutical products.
