Maintenance-free polymer plain bearings in the fluid technology industry

Resistant to chemicals and media, maintenance-free, self-lubricating

Around the world, manufacturers of hydraulic and pneumatic systems as well as HVAC facilities rely on self-lubricating components from igus. The reason for this is simple: from short linear movements to fast rotating applications, our tribologically-optimized plastics provide a high resistance to wear, abrasion, chemicals and temperature as well as freedom from maintenance.
