Use iglidur plain bearings and
extend maintenance intervals

Do without additional lubricants and use individually customised plain bearings.
Predictable service life and high resilience increase reliability

Benefit from the advantages of iglidur plain bearings

No additional lubricants necessary

No lubrication
No additional lubrication is necessary thanks to solid lubricants in the plain bearings

dirt-resistant

Dirt-resistant
Operate reliably even in combination with dirt, and the bearing point stays clean

high loads

For high loads
Suitable for use with edge loads and heavy loads

vibration-dampening

Vibration-dampening
The materials properties are vibration-dampening at the bearing point

corrosion-resistant

Corrosion-free
Safe use, even in contact with fluids and water

UV and weather-resistant

UV and weather-resistant
Reliable use in combination with UV radiation, heat and low temperatures

Tested in the test laboratory for use in the real world

To make sure our plain bearings withstand continuous use under extreme load, they are submitted to a variety of tests. This enables us to collect extensive data on their service life.

The test results are added into our online tools for service life calculation. With these tools you can calculate the service life of our plain bearings for free.

iglidur plain bearings help boost the reliability and service life of increasingly powerful machines despite their growing technical complexity. They don't require any lubricating grease for operation and therefore do not need to be lubricated.

"In addition, we were looking for a bearing that did not require lubricants, because the farmer did not want to lubricate as in the very dusty environment this would quickly lead to strong dirt adhesion."

"The wear on the brass bushes was too high. Therefore, we were glad that the polymer bearings finally provided an effective alternative, because the plastic bearings are simply more robust."
