iglidur plain bearings, 3D-printed gears, igubal spherical plain bearings and lead screws as well as tribotape are used. In all products, iglidur high-performance polymers are used at the crucial points, which are subjected to extensive friction and wear tests in the test laboratory. They contain incorporated solid lubricants and therefore require no additional lubricants. These components therefore minimise maintenance requirements and prevent dirt from adhering to the bearing points. Even demanding weather conditions are no obstacle.
Metal gears can be replaced by 3D printed plastic gears. These are manufactured using the selective laser sintering process and are characterised by their particularly high wear resistance and cost-effective production. The shape and size of the gear can be customised.
