Maintenance-free storage technology in the surf training device
The developers of Surf Evolution, a device for training surfing movements, were looking for better bearing technology. The solution: dry-running iglidur® bushings, dryspin® threaded spindles and drylin® W-linear guide. They minimise maintenance and reduce costs by 70 %.

Durable piston guide in knee joint prosthesis
This prosthesis from Otto Bock HealthCare was fitted with iglidur® J piston rings, which can be clipped onto the piston thanks to the slot and flexible material. This makes installation very easy and shortens the assembly time. The PTFE guide bands used previously wore out quickly and had to be replaced frequently.
