Successfully used in motorbikes and scooters

Our products have already been tested thousands of times in practice and have proven themselves in numerous applications in the motorbike industry. By switching from metallic to lubrication-free dry-tech® bearing products, our customers have been able to improve the technology of their systems and reduce costs: with longer service lives and less maintenance. Below you will find a selection of customer applications that have already been realised.

Rail systems for maintenance-free adjustment of footrests

MV Motorrad Technik has developed an adjustment mechanism for the footrest. A drylin® W double rail system is installed here, which enables even maintenance-free operation even with aggressive media such as salt, dirt and water and can be installed quickly and easily thanks to its compact design.

Robust plain and spherical plain bearings at various points of use in racing motorbikes

Krämer Motorcycles (KMC) was looking for lightweight and maintenance-free bearings for their supermono racing bike. The solution: iglidur ® bearings, which are used in the link, brake and shifting system as well as in the footrests. Two igubal ® rod ends are also used in the foot brake lever. Unlike metal solutions, the igus® products are lightweight and, thanks to dry operation, dirt-resistant and maintenance-free.

Centrifugal clutch with longer service life thanks to plastic plain bearings

The company Giprime Hyper Racing builds centrifugal clutches that are used in 2-stroke racing machines. Normally, couplings of this type are mounted without plain bearings, which leads to rapid wear. By using highly abrasion-resistant iglidur ® Z plastic plain bearings, the service life is significantly increased and the entire coupling no longer needs to be replaced.
