Change now from metal to iglidur® polymer bearings and improve the performance of your application due to lower weight, quieter running, high wear resistance and freedom from corrosion. We offer you standard dimensions immediately from stock, and individual, customised solutions. Cost-effective prototypes can be produced with our speedigus® service, with 3D printed injection moulds, as 3D printed parts or machined parts made of iglidur® stock bar. Benefit from our 30 years of experience in the automotive industry and the high versatility of iglidur®.

In the industry's largest test laboratory for plastics , iglidur® plain bearings are put through their paces. Under practical conditions, the bearings are tested at different speeds and loads against different shaft materials. The results are entered into our tools to calculate service life and allow for precise predictions regarding their durability.
iglidur® bearings are resistant to high static loads up to 120 MPa without problems. To compensate tolerances, iglidur® bearings use high temperatures for drying after the e-coating.
iglidur® polymer bearings are used in actuators and small gears as they ensure quiet operation, do not need any additional lubrication and are more cost-effective than metal bearings.
Radial and axial preload of iglidur® bearings avoid vibrations and noise. They compensate tolerances, are not sensitive to edge loads and have a high static load capacity.
iglidur plain bearings are used in headlamps for bending lights and automatic beam height control. They are especially advantageous due to their high temperature resistance and their good tribological properties.
Corrosion-free bearing points that can cope with high static loads are crucial for windscreen wipers. iglidur plain bearings are corrosion-resistant and are able to withstand high static loads. Ideal for wiper arms, wiper blades and other kinematic elements.
Thrust washers made of iglidur® material replace metallic bearings and simple plastics. They have low static friction, run silently and can be produced in special shapes.
iglidur plain bearings are not only media-resistant, they also have an advantage over ceramic and carbon-graphite bearings in terms of cost. They operate silently and, due to hydrodynamic lubrication, easily cope with high surface speeds.
The plastic bearings run reliably at up to 10 million movement cycles and ambient temperatures of up to 200°C. Due to their media resistance, they can be used in the engine compartment without problems, e.g. in throttle valves.
iglidur® bearings are resistant to transmission oil, noise-dampening and do not let contact corrosion develop. Therefore, they are suitable for use in gear connection and at shift forks.
