Yes. We make iglidur plain bearings according to your wishes and ideas. No minimum order quantity. For this, we make use of the latest manufacturing methods. Whether this involves conventional injection moulding of igus injection moulds made of steel, aluminium or plastic; machining of bar stock; or completely constraint-free 3D printing; as well as coating of metal […]
This depends on your definition of a heavy load. What the term ‘heavy loads’ means depends on the point of view. In general, plastics are not nearly as strong as steel and similar materials. Nevertheless, there are iglidur materials that have proven their worth at load bearing points with loads above 150 MPa (approximate load of 6 t […]

In addition to the tests carried out in the framework of the material quality inspection, iglidur plain bearings are subjected to special wear tests by igus. Every iglidur material is tested for its wear properties in hundreds of stress scenarios, whereby different plain bearings with diverse dimensions are tested. The data are recorded systematically and are the […]
Many manufacturers declare their products to be “maintenance-free”. This usually means that the bearing in question is delivered with initial lubrication. As long as this lubrication is intact, no maintenance of any kind is necessary. iglidur plastics, in contrast, do not have a lubricating film and no reservoir of grease that is eventually used up. The […]
