Lubricant- and maintenance-free products for the shipbuilding industry
The construction of increasingly larger ships poses high demands on the production processes in any wharf. igus® products display their strengths in ship construction and processing and also in many other overall shipbuilding applications: They provide safe energy supply systems for indoor cranes, welding and cutting facilities, material testing instruments, robots und transporters, etc.
Optimize the service life of your facilities and at the same time reduce the process costs with igus® high-performance polymer products. igus® products are suited for applications in almost all environments: Heat, cold, damp, dirt – we always have a solution.
An overview of the highlights:

Application examples
From the shipbuilding and offshore sectorShipyard
Eight gantry cranes connected in series travel a total length of 180 m with plastic Energy Chains®.
Boat cranes
iglidur® plastic plain bearings in cranes used in commercial and private marinas and also by private boat owners to haul the boats out of the water.
Mooring system for sail and motor yachts
High load capacity and durable
Marine lift for water vehicles for leisure purposes
Corrosion-proof in sea water
Underwater boring machine
This drill, the Vibrocorer VKG-6, is used in extremely demanding environments. a
Ship loader
Since the ship loader started operations in 2000, no troubles, either mechanical or in the cables, have occurred in the energy chain area.
3D flow distributor
Ball bearing assemblies are very precarious due to the lubricant particularly under water. Stainless steel guidances cannot be considered due to the high costs. Plastic is used also for hygienic reasons.
Boat motor
lifting device
Boat motor lifting device and inner boom roll-up device equipped with plastic plain bearings.
Rust-free roller chain
The maintenance-free polymer bearings are used in rust-proof roller chains, which are employed to drive main and auxiliary equipment.
Ship fittings
Now freedom from corrosion is an important argument for the application of iglidur® G plain bearings in ship fittings.
Solar energy on a sailing boat
To protect against external influences, the connection cables of the solar module was assembled in an E2 micro energy chain®.
Helicopter hangar for ships
Telescope type deploying and retracting of a hangar at sea.
