No lubrication
No additional lubrication is necessary thanks to solid lubricants in the plain bearings
Dirt-resistant
Operate reliably even in combination with dirt, and the bearing point stays clean
For high loads
Suitable for use with edge loads and heavy loads
Vibration-dampening
The materials properties are vibration-dampening at the bearing point
Corrosion-free
Safe use, even in contact with fluids and water
UV and weather-resistant
Reliable use in combination with UV radiation, heat and low temperatures
To make sure our plain bearings withstand continuous use under extreme load, they are submitted to a variety of tests. This enables us to collect extensive data on their service life.
The test results are added into our online tools for service life calculation. With these tools you can calculate the service life of our plain bearings for free.
"We were looking for a material that was lubrication-free, robust and cost-effective, so we opted for the iglidur plain bearings from igus"
Klemens Ollmaier, Managing Partner of samo Maschinenbau GmbH
"In addition, we were looking for a bearing that did not require lubricants, because the farmer did not want to lubricate as in the very dusty environment this would quickly lead to strong dirt adhesion."
Jochen Gnann, Director Supply Chain at AGCO Feucht
"The wear on the brass bushes was too high. Therefore, we were glad that the polymer bearings finally provided an effective alternative, because the plastic bearings are simply more robust."
Sebastian Zunhammer, Managing Director of Zunhammer GmbH
"We have successfully tested the pedals with millions of operations to ensure years of trouble-free operation"
Michael Stoffers, Engineering Manager Mechanical Design, Sensata Technologies GmbH
"In the beginning everyone laughed at us about the Karat cultivator because we wanted to use plastic at the bearing point."
Lars Heier, Head of Marketing Lemken GmbH
"Previously, the bushings had to be individually rubbed after painting [...] Thanks to the use of iglidur plain bearings, this work step has now been eliminated."
