Looking for spectacular solutions in plastic plain bearing applications22-11-18
The jury's biggest challenge at the last edition of the manus award two years ago was selecting three winners out of 541 entries from 35 countries. In addition to the three winners – an exoskeleton to facilitate assembly work, a manipulator arm that can be used underwater up to a depth of 500 metres and an ejection mechanism for a research object in space – there were many other exciting applications with plastic plain bearings. From 3D printers and sports equipment up to art sculptures. "This selection of different applications alone illustrates the versatile application potentials of plastic plain bearings," explains Tobias Vogel, Vice President and head of iglidur plain bearings & drylin linear technology, igus GmbH. He succeeds Gerhard Baus as a new member of the jury. Mr. Baus was involved in the last eight editions of the competition as the co-founder since its inception in 2003. Now the application phase for the 2019 manus has begun. |
