In both disconnectors and earthing switches, there are also bearing points that can be optimised with the help of iglidur plain bearings. These also already contain solid lubricants and thus reduce maintenance costs. The versatile range of different iglidur materials makes it possible to install plain bearings with electrical conductivity. There is also a suitable material for high loads and hard impacts.
Metal gears can be replaced by 3D printed plastic gears. These are manufactured using the selective laser sintering process and are characterised by particularly high wear resistance and cost-effective production. The shape and size of the gear can be customised.
