RV Parts & Components Require No Grease & Can Withstand Any Environment

Our tribologically-optimized polymer iglide® bearings and drylin® linear guide rails are self-lubricating, dry-running, and resistant to weather and corrosion. They’re also lightweight, UV-resistant and perfect for use in awnings, vents, adjustable seats, ramps, hinges, pedals, sliding doors and more. Our plastic e-chain® cable carriers are also a great alternative to metal springs and plastic sheets, which can potentially stretch out or sag respectively, or rust and wear in varying weather conditions.

All igus® products and RV parts are extensively tested each year inside of our 41,000 sq. ft. test lab at our headquarters in Cologne, Germany.  For this reason, every bearing, linear slide and cable carrier offers a predictable service life, which engineers can calculate prior to installation using our undefined.
