Problem

Solution

"In order to prevent wear between the two materials and thus increase the service life of the cleaning machine, we decided to use iglidur® P bearings from igus®."

Solar system cleaning as a challenge for operators

The hyCLEANER black SOLAR is used at the football stadium Stade de Suisse in Bern. There it regularly cleans more than 12,000 square metres of solar plant surface. (Source: TG hyLIFT GmbH)
The hyCLEANER moves by means of wheels on two plastic toothed belts, which are covered with special bands and generate their grip on the wet surface.

Lubrication-free polymer bearings for safe storage

Flange bearing for use in wet areas

To compensate for misalignments in the brush mounting, the designers used a square flange bearing made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic from igus.
