xiros hybrid radial deep groove ball bearings
The xiros hybrid ball bearings combine an outer race made of xirodur 180 with an inner race made of stainless steel. This allows them to achieve a higher load-bearing capacity, while remaining completely lubrication-free and maintenance-free - ideal for demanding applications. The cage consists of iglidur J3, a high-performance polymer with additives to improve strength and sliding properties. The suffix "SO" in the installation size stands for spherical outer and indicates the spherical, concave outer race geometry.

Tech up:
- Higher load capacity due to metallic inner race

Cost down:
- Maintenance-free with increased service life

Proof:
- Min. 50 times longer service life at 200N and 500rpm compared to plastic ball bearings with plastic inner race

Sustainability:
- Environmentally friendly, no additional lubricants needed
- igus® supports the circular economy of plastics and is investing in chemical recycling. More at: igus.eu/sustainability
When to use it?
- When dealing with high loads
- If the application temperatures are between -40°C and +80°C
When not to use it?
- If application temperatures are permanently below -40°C or above +80°C ▷ xirodur® A500
- When high chemical resistance is required at temperatures up to +60°C ▷ xirodur® C160
- If antistatic conductivity is required ▷ xirodur® F180

Installation recommendation:

1. Housing (tolerance H7)
2. Front (balls visible)
3. Rear (cage visible)
4. Press-fit the ball bearing, front side first
5. Install shaft (tolerance h6) with chamfer
6. A locating spigot must be provided
