Improve humanoid robot design with self-lubricating plastic components

The humanoid robot industry is poised to be the fastest growing industry in the world over the next decade. Integrators, manufacturers, and developers are all working on making the technology feasible for widespread commercial use. One easy way to achieve this and make humanoid robots more accessible and affordable is by implementing self-lubricating plastic components like those from igus®.

Our components utilize embedded solid lubricants to eliminate grease and maintain optimal performance even in dirty, dusty, and humid environments. The most relevant components we offer for the humanoid robot industry include plain and linear bearings, slewing rings, spherical bearings and rod ends, gears and gearboxes, and multi-axis cable carriers.
