Safety for railway technology

Train seats with iglidur plain bearings

We have developed iglide® RW250 for this purpose

The highest safety requirements apply to public transport vehicles in local and long-distance traffic. One of them is the fire protection standard DIN EN 45545 for rail vehicles.  ​

​

Plain bearings, which are used in the numerous mechanisms for seats, levers, flaps and doors, must meet these requirements in order to avoid endangering passengers if the occasion arises.  ​

These - quite legitimate - strict specifications pose great challenges for materials development in bearing technology. In addition to the plain bearing material iglide® RW370 already established in the industry, we have developed an even more cost-effective and wear-resistant material in the medium load range called iglide® RW250 . ​
