July 11, 2022 12:32 pm

With the range of maintenance-free, lubrication-free, tribo polymer plain bearings, igus can offer solutions to heavy-duty applications without needing greasing. These bearings provide high wear resistance at high loads.

Heavy-duty applications for plain bearings, generally seen in construction machines, agricultura equipment, hydraulic cylinders, mounting brackets etc., have very challenging technical requirements considering the harsh and dirty environments these machines are used in. Generally, metallic bearings used in such applications are heavily greased. Adverse weather conditions can lead bearings to corrosion and premature failure in case of missing lubrication or insufficient lubrication.

The motion plastic solution provider igus offers multiple polymer plain bearings as an alternative to frequently used lubricated metal bearings. The range of heavy-duty polymer bearing from igus includes:
