In the modern electronics industry, protecting components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) is crucial. ESD can cause not only immediate damage to electronic components, but also latent damage that occurs later and can significantly shorten product service life. To meet these challenges, igus has developed innovative ESD materials that combine the corrosion resistance and lubrication-free operation of standard spherical bearings with controlled electrical conductivity for ESD-sensitive environments.
igus® specialises in the development of plastics and offers a wide range of ESD materials specifically developed for ESD-critical environments.
Advantages of igubal® ESD (electrostatic discharge**):**
An ESD spherical bearing is a bearing manufactured out of a material that is designed to prevent electrostatic build up and safely dissipate any built up charges.
These bearings prevent the build up of static charge and provide a safe controller path for the electric currents to bypass the moving parts
The ESD bearings provide a low resistance path to ground- dissipating the electric charges and ensuring it safely removes dangerous electrostatic discharge.
