igus® solutions for sport boats and other watercrafts
Reduce costs ... Improve technology ...
Saltwater-resistant and suitable for all types of weather. motion plastics® products from igus® improve the technology and lower the costs.Lubrication-free products from igus® shine in many maritime applications,
even under the toughest environmental conditions. Seawater-resistant
and rugged for shipbuilding in wind, rain or snow while remaining lightweight and
functional in the boat interior.
e-chainsystems® guide any cable reliably and safely during electrical
movements iglidur® plain bearings and drylin® linear guides use dry operation
and move sliding doors, hatches,
steering systems, lift systems and all other rotating and swivelling components quietly and in a completely maintenance-free manner. Always 100% lubrication-free.
igus® products also appeal to users as visible parts,
thanks to their elegant design and availability in many finishes. igus® products have received the iF product design award year after year.

Application examples
Sailing boat
This sailing boat can be steered perfectly thanks to an optimum connection between the tiller and rudder.
Yacht building
Seawater-resistant, wear-resistant polymer plain bearings are used in the new generation models of yacht building instead of self-made roller bearings.
Mooring system for sail and motor yachts
High load capacity and durable
Solar energy on a sailing boat
For protection against outdoor influences the connection cables of the solar cell were mounted in an E2 micro energy chain.
Boat motor
lifting device
Boat motor lifting device and inner boom roll-up device equipped with plastic plain bearings.
Shipyard
Eight gantry cranes connected in series travel a total length of 180 m with plastic energy chains.
Ship loader
Since the ship loader started operations in 2000, no troubles, either mechanical or in the cables, have occurred in the energy chain area.
Boat cranes
In contrast to metal and bronze bearings, the igus® bearings do not corrode due to their high-performance polymer structure and are for this reason the ideal choice for underwater application.

Test laboratory - quality from igus®
You can rely on the igus® qualityApplications involving high cycle counts, speeds and accelerations or demanding environmental conditions require proven systems providing durable and reliable operation, especially when it comes to energy chains, cables as well as polymer slide bearings and linear systems. igus® conducts tests continuously in the in-house laboratory under real conditions. Every year, we conduct more than 2000 tests on e-chains® and cables, and over 5000 tests on slide bearings . The focus of our tests are tensile strengths and shear forces. Coefficients of friction, wear, driving forces and abrasion under extremely different conditions and speeds. Influence coefficients such as dirt, weathering, low temperature, or impacts and shocks are tested
