Innovations with high performance plastics

igus® polymer plain bearings constitute the step from a simple plastic bushing to a tested, calculable and readily available machine element.
Our research is essentially aimed at precise forecasts of bearing properties - especially the service life - achieved by continuous advancements in materials.

Low weight, corrosion resistance as well as zero maintenance and lubrication achieve solutions for nearly all types of applications.

With the igus® maintenance-free polymer plain bearings, we can assist you in improving your products and at the same time reduce costs.

For the customer, the production must go on without problems and an energy supply system should accordingly function smoothly. That presupposes the effortless performance of all components and the cables inserted in them. igus® was the first company to develop complete e-chain system®. chainflex® cables and e-chain® are supplied from one source and - according to application - offered with a system guarantee. The design principles that today prevent machine downtimes in factories all over the world have originated and emerge from the know-how and elaborate series of research that have steadily grown since 1989.
