Lightweight bearing technology without lubrication for drones and UAVs
Unmanned flights will affect our lives more and more. in the form of flying taxis and drones delivering packages. Low weight, all-weather use and long service life are among the stringent requirements of drone components. Our products made of high-performance polymers are ideal for such applications, since they require no additional lubrication and are quiet and corrosion-free. Many iglidur materials also fulfil the requirements of the FAR 25.853 fire protection standard.
Benefits of igus products:
Cost-effective
Save installation space and weight
Low noise and low vibration
Resistant to chemicals, dirt and corrosion
Fast delivery
Complete systems or individual components from batch size 1
Pillow block and linear bearings in lightweight drone
This pest-control drone can extend a telescopic arm closely to the spot of infestation and, for example, spray pesticides there. A drylin linear guide and igubal bearings are used to move the arm and the articulated arm. The focus was on tough and light components.
In this selection of more than 40 application examples, you can find out how our energy chains and bearing products are used in aviation and aerospace, where they fulfil different requirements. Here, it was necessary to overcome challenges such as high loads, extreme temperature differences, confined spaces or specifications requiring low weight.
