Since wheelchairs have to be used both indoors and outdoors on a daily basis, manufacturers are confronted with an exceptionally broad range of requirements. High forces, severe weather effects, dirt and dust are just a few of the challenges our bearing products and cable carriers can meet. This could take the form of plain bearings in wheelchair suspension or support rollers, linear guides for armrests and footrests, or rod ends for tie rods. Our products and materials provide high vibration-damping capability, low coefficients of friction and wear, maintenance-free and grease-free operation and stick-slip-free movements for a comfortable experience.
