To absorb shocks, the Canadian company Professional componente has developed the Shockwave S5 shock absorber for seats. The built-in iglidur J4 plain bearings have to withstand shocks of up to 5g with a maximum passenger weight of 150kg. Further requirements were freedom from corrosion and maintenance as well as a low coefficient of friction

Roswell Marine builds boats with telescopic roofs. This way, drivers can determine the height of the roof, e.g. to pass under low bridges. The E2/000 e-chains allow for safe cable guidance while withstanding the salt water and constant vibrations and shocks.

For the latest seat version, the designers at Kaj Naval used a drylin W linear guide for the spring-loaded shock absorber. It ensures that the seat glides smoothly even at high speeds and absorbs the vibrations of the shafts. Thanks to the use of tribo-polymer sliding elements, the guide carriage has no lateral clearance and shows no signs of wear even after a long period of operation.

For its electric windows in premium-segment boats, Glaskeil relies on drylin drive technology. It fulfils the high requirements for compact dimensions, quiet operation as well as resistance to aggressive salt water and high temperature fluctuations.

How does the dinghy get onto the yacht or the jet ski into the water? This system manufacturer knows the answer. The company designs lift systems for yachts - and relies on energy chains, drylin profile guides and iglidur plain bearings.
