Plain bearings, linear guides and coupling joints by igus® have been designed for dynamic use and tough environments. The high-performance polymers used withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, shocks, dirt and corrosion. They are self-lubricating, durable, maintenance-free and quiet; in addition, the low weight of the polymer bearings leads to a higher performance of the entire design and a reduction in CO2 emissions. In the course of e-mobility and hence quieter motors, requirements regarding components and modules have increased: they have to be as noiseless as possible and ideally have dampening properties. Noises always arise where components interact with each other and friction occurs. igus® polymers minimize the coefficient of friction and hence result in less wear and a quieter operation.
With iglide® plain bearings, costs can be reduced by up to 40%. Weight is reduced by up to 80% and, as a result, CO2 emissions are lowered as well. What's more, the bearings operate very quietly, compensate for manufacturing tolerances and can be inserted into sheet metal quickly and easily thanks to flexible assembly concepts.
