Fiber-Wound Bearings For Heavy-Duty Applications

Developed for Very High Loads

Composite bearings are a combination of different materials. For this purpose, e.g. mineral materials (glass, coal) are woven, combined with synthetic resins and other additives and sometimes pressed together under high temperatures and pressure.

With our igutex plain bearings, a robust fiberglass fabric serves as the outer shell, while an inner layer optimized for sliding properties reduces friction on the shaft.

The combination of these materials results in high-strength fiber-reinforced plain bearings that are primarily used in agricultural, construction and mining machinery. Since our igutex fiber-reinforced bearings contain solid lubricants, they do not require any maintenance or additional lubrication.

Fiber-Wound Bearings in Heavy-Duty Applications

All-terrain vehicle

Reliable despite dirt and grime

The track vehicle from Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG relies on wound igutex heavy-duty plain bearings in the oscillating and tensioning axles. Even when driving through mud, slush and bog, the igutex plain bearings are reliable.

Oscillating axles

Lubrication costs saved

The Demarko company uses igutex fiber-reinforced plain bearings in oscillating axles for semi-trailers. Since the bearings do not have to be lubricated and are part of the igus standard range, Demarko was able to reduce production costs.

A-frame

20 tons load and salt water

The A-Frame from Ship & Yacht Engineering Ltd. can lift loads up to 20 tons. Therefore, heavy-duty plain bearings that are suitable for high loads were required. For use on the high seas, they should also be weatherproof.
