The economic solution for large volumes. Used in applications with low glide paths but high static loads, like for instance in seat systems. Suitable for e-coating
T: -40°C/+100°C
F: 80 MPa
Here is an overview of the most important igus® materials for automotive applications using plastic plain bearings. We have classified the materials in groups to facilitate your selection. Over 7,000 standard dimensions from Ø 2 - 150 mm are available from stock in over 36 materials. Short delivery times even for special dimensions.

T: -40°C/+100°C
F: 80 MPa
The all-rounder. Similar mechanical properties like iglidur® GLW, but with clearly higher wear resistance. Typical applications are convertible top systems and fittings. Suitable for e-coating
T: -40 °C/+130 °C
F: 80 MPa
The material with the most favorable coefficients of friction in dry operation. Thereby well suited for all short-term fast-rotating applications in seat adjustment and mirror drives. Good glide partner also for all "soft" materials", operates even with aluminum die casting.
T: -50 °C/+90 °C
F: 35 MPa
The conductive material for all applications with e-coating. Typical applications are found in seat and convertible top systems.
T: -40 °C/+130 °C
F: 45 MPa
The bearing for all applications in the engine compartment. Resistant to fuels, transmission oils and brake fluids. Minimum moisture absorption. Typical applications are throttle valves, intake tubes, transmission actuators, etc.
T: -40°C/+200°C
F: 65 MPa
High temperature material, can also be coated with PA or PPS materials. Offers good tribological properties also with GF reinforced plastics. Low e-module in spite of high compressive strength. Ideal in applications with high loads and misalignments, e.g. in hydraulic platforms in utility vehicles.
T: -100 °C/+250 °C
F: 150 MPa
Individually adapted materials with special properties: We develop the plastic that's needed for your application. We find the ideal solution along with you: Short development times, optimized according to value analysis and tested at the igus® lab. Over 100 tested special compounds already on the shelves.
