Plain bearing
Our TX bearings are not injection moulded like our other iglidur® plain bearings. These bearings have an interwoven design, each layer incorporating solid lubricants, which not only means no lubrication but it also increases the mechanical strength compared to moulded bearings. These are ideal for high mechanical loads and are 3 times stronger than their […]
The sustainable iglidur materials ECO H, ECO P, ECO A180 and ECO G consist of regranulate so conserve resources, and abrasion-resistance helps to reduce microplastics. Social change, responsibility towards the environment and changes in how plastics are handled are leaving their mark on industry. For customers who want a more sustainable design for their moving […]

A super-realistic racing simulator has been developed by Greaves 3D Engineering that features 45 igus bearings, linear rails, drives and e-chains. The University of Northampton is using the simulator for deployment on its esports BSc degree course. The driver grips the contoured steering wheel lightly and adjusts the seat position forward, angled back. The pedal […]
The automotive industry is tough with strict conditions and requirements. In this week’s video of the week, you can see how iglidur® coating can be beneficial in the Automotive industry. Offering a low co-efficient of friction surface, with the same great lubrication-free properties that other iglidur® products offer. To view the video, click here https://youtu.be/4OQ8gjkCzks […]
The new lubrication-free iglidur slewing ring bearing PRT-04 Micro for very small installation spaces is the latest in a high-performing product series. Miniaturisation means requirements for machine components are becoming increasingly demanding, where enabling movement in the smallest installation spaces is an engineering challenge for many companies. Now igus has further developed its PRT-04 slewing […]
Bearing points on construction and agricultural machinery can be free of lubrication and maintenance with iglidur M210 and M260 materials Save time and costs on bearings for machinery medium loads with iglidur M210 and M260. These materials enable heavy machinery like construction equipment to switch from thick-walled metal bearings to plastic bearings with no structural […]
The construction industry requires robust, durable and reliable products to be used within the machinery. In this week’s video of the week, igus® products are shown in various aspects of construction machinery, showing that plastic bearings are more than capable of withstanding the construction life! Being lubrication free, igus® products are ideal for use in […]
In this week’s video of the week, the packaging machine showcases a number of igus® products being used. From curved rail to drylin® and iglidur® bearings, all products are ideally suited for this application as no maintenance is required. The igus® products are also lubrication free so allows a clean, smooth motion. The machine also […]
New toolmaking production line enables rapid delivery of customised igus plain bearings Industrial parts and products must be delivered quickly and reliably, but the manufacture of special parts by injection moulding can take several weeks. Plastics specialist igus has expanded its in-house toolmaking department and can now offer its customers the “FastLine” express service. Lubrication-free, […]
