IGUS ZFM-1012-09 Flanged Plastic Bushing iglidur Z 10x12x9

Application - Self-Lubricating Flanged Bushing for Industrial Systems

The IGUS ZFM-1012-09 is a precision flanged plastic bushing manufactured from high-performance iglidur Z material. Designed as a maintenance-free sliding bearing, it operates reliably in demanding industrial applications where low friction, high durability and dry running capability are essential.

With dimensions 10x12x9 mm (inner diameter x outer diameter x length) and a flange diameter of 18 mm, the bushing ensures secure axial positioning and stable shaft guidance. It is commonly used in automation systems, machinery components, transport equipment and compact drive assemblies.

Thanks to its self-lubricating properties, the bushing eliminates the need for additional grease or oil, reducing maintenance costs and preventing contamination in sensitive environments.

Advantages of iglidur Z Material - High Durability and Dry Operation

The iglidur Z compound is engineered for higher load capacities and elevated temperatures. Compared to conventional metal bushings or even a standard ball bearing, this plastic sliding solution offers:

• Self-lubricating operation without maintenance

• High wear resistance and long service life

• Resistance to many industrial chemicals

• Quiet and vibration-dampening performance

Unlike a ball bearing used in a bearing unit or bearing housing, a flanged plastic bushing performs better in dusty or contaminated environments and where lubrication is impractical. It is an efficient solution for industrial applications requiring compact and lightweight components.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Does the iglidur Z bushing require lubrication?
No. It is self-lubricating and designed for dry running without additional grease.

When should a plastic bushing be used instead of a ball bearing?
A plastic sliding bushing is ideal for lower speeds, dusty environments or applications where maintenance-free operation is required.

Is iglidur Z suitable for high loads?
Yes. iglidur Z is formulated for higher load capacity and elevated temperatures in industrial environments.

How do I select the correct size?
Match the inner diameter to the shaft (10 mm), the outer diameter to the housing bore (12 mm), and confirm the length (9 mm) according to your design requirements.
