Do without lubricants completely

For metal ball bearings, lubrication is essential as they otherwise rust quickly and become deformed during use. Our xiros plastic bearings don't need a single drop of lubricant. As a result, our ball bearings win marks for quietness of operation as they do not have to overcome the resistance of the lubricant and are set in motion with a considerably lower breakaway torque.

Maintenance-free dry operation thanks to xiros rotary ball connections

xiros® ball bearings are lubrication-free

Corrosion-free xiros® plastic ball bearings

Corrosion? No, thank you!

Plastic ball bearings have a crucial advantage over those made of metal: they are 100% corrosion-resistant. Even when used in corrosive environments, xiros plastic ball bearings always operate quietly and have a long service life - completely without maintenance.

Save up to 50% weight

Metal ball bearings are robust - and heavy. For many applications, xiros plastic ball bearings are a perfect alternative as they are lightweight, reliable and durable. Plastic ball bearings are often used in the automotive industry and aerospace engineering. Wherever low weight is important, our light plastic ball bearings are ideal.

Up to 50% more cost-effective than metal ball bearings

Up to just under 50% more cost-effective than comparable solutions made of metal

Our plastic ball bearings stand out from their metal counterparts not only due to formers' technical advantages such as the absence of lubrication and freedom from corrosion but also because they are up to around 50% more cost-effective.

Do you need further cost comparisons for your metal, plastic or ceramic ball bearings in order to identify the potential for savings? We advise you! It's our job!

∎ Smooth operation decisive

"Decisive for us here is the smooth running of the ball bearings in the guide rollers. In the past we have used metallic bearings. However, this was not smooth enough, sometimes making the complete roll stop and the label band would slip over it. “

● Sustainability

No lubrication necessary

For our ball bearings, you need not a single drop of lubricating oil. Not only our users, but also the environment profit from this. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials produce less abrasion, as a result of which less energy is needed.
