Plastic bearings for automotive onboard applications

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, e.g. door and multiple-joint hinges, as they are corrosion-free, compensate tolerances, are suitable for e-coating and run silently.

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.

Spherical shells, rolling and plain bearings in chassis applications are often substituted with iglidur® bearings. Advantages are good dampening properties, high resistance to alternating bending load and wear.

iglidur® bearings are resistant to media, pressure and wear and can therefore also be used in brake calliper bearings. Their price-performance ratio makes them unbeatable.

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.

In the belt tensioner, bearings are exposed to high-frequency oscillating movements. This does not pose a problem for the wear-resistant iglidur® material. They fulfil their purpose reliably and have a dampening effect.

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.
