Innovations with high performance plastics

Polymer plain bearings from igus® signifies the step from the plastic bushing to the proven and tested, and thereby calculable and quickly available, machine element.
Our research is aimed at precise forecasts of bearing properties, especially the life cycle, achieved by continuous advances in materials.

Low weight, corrosion resistance, and zero maintenance and lubrication achieve solutions for nearly all types of applications.
Install it and forget it!

Install and forget - suitable solution from stock

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-ChainSystem®. 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.
