Durable, maintenance-free components for renewable energies

Generating energy, especially from renewable energy sources, requires reliable and durable technological solutions. In the process, the different systems are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions, such as UV radiation, fluctuations in temperature, strong winds, dirt and dust, and have to withstand these for years.
 
Tailored to the specific system, we offer you special solutions made of high-performance polymers, which can help you improve your technology, optimise your system and reduce costs.

Benefits of igus products:

  • Lubrication and maintenance-free
  • UV-resistant
  • Insensitive to dirt and dust
  • Weather-resistant
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Long predictable service life
  • Customised solutions

Successful in use by our customers

Photovoltaic tracking system from TecnoSun Solar Systems

Withstand all weather conditions: plain bearings in PV trackers

Tracking systems by TecnoSun Solar Systems AG convince due to their cost efficiency thanks to low installation height. For the traction ring, the company required low-maintenance bearings that would withstand decades of operation in all sorts of weather conditions. At igus, they found what they were looking for: dry-running iglidur P plain bearings are maintenance-free, resistant to dirt and extreme weather conditions and withstand heavy loads, should they be covered in thick layers of snow.
