Plastic bearing technology for automobiles

Five reasons why you should use iglidur plain bearings in motor vehicles

With iglidur plain bearings, costs can be reduced by up to 40%. Weight is reduced by up to 80% and, as a consequence, CO2 emissions are lowered. Moreover, the bearings operate very quietly, compensate for manufacturing tolerances and can be inserted into sheet metal quickly and easily thanks to flexible assembly concepts. 

Tested in the igus test laboratory for use in the real world

Tested for continuous load, media resistance and low-noise operation

In the largest plastics test laboratory in the industry, iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear technology and igubal coupling joints are thoroughly tested. The focus is on investigating the tribological specifications of different material pairings and the testing of assemblies. The results are integrated into our service life calculation tools and allow precise durability predictions.Upon request, igus also carries out customer tests to check product use under completely customised conditions.
