igubal FC - A181

igubal® FC with iglide® A181 spherical balls

Complies with FDA and EU 10/2011

The new A181 spherical ball complies with FDA and EU 10/2011 and costs 25% less than the familiar FC180 spherical ball. The housing is still made of igumid G (detectable, complies with FDA and EU 10/2011).

All familiar variants of the igubal® FC pillow block bearings, spherical bearings, and rod ends will be converted to the new iglidur® A181 spherical ball.

The variant with the detectable spherical ball will remain available with the FC180 article number suffix.
