Plastic products in agricultural engineering

The use of plastic plain bearings facilitates 8 x longer service life

Especially in agricultural applications, you need solutions that can stand up to rough conditions, such as dirt, shock and edge loads. The absence of lubricants and a long service life are equally important.
In many applications, metallic bushings or recirculating ball bearing guides can be replaced by lubricant-free polymer plain bearings. We would like to show you how to improve your technology and save costs at the same time.
 
The advantages of igus® polymer plain bearings, especially for agricultural applications are:

Dry-running and corrosion-resistant

Resistant to dust and dirt

High mechanical stability

vibration dampening

Resistant to dust and dirt

Balance of inclinations and bendings

Custom dimensions according to drawing even for small quantities
