❌ Lubricate regularly to prevent damage to plain bearings or shafts
❌ High costs for purchase, lubricant and maintenance
❌Risk of rust and susceptibility to edge loads
❌Sensitive to dirt and dust

✅ With iglidur two-component plain bearings, all this trouble is a thing of the past.

From left to right: Metal plain bearing with POM gliding layer, iglidur Q2, iglidur Q3E
Our self-lubricating two-component bearings not only help you save costs for lubricants and maintenance, they are also more affordable than metal-polymer plain bearings.
When you compare prices, you will see that our iglidur Q3E plain bearings at €2.91 per piece are three times more cost-effective than metal plain bearings with a POM gliding layer. iglidur Q2 plain bearings also perform better in comparison. Metal-polymer plain bearings cost more than twice as much as Q2.
We compared bearings in the dimension 6065-60 and a quantity of 1,000.

We have subjected our iglidur two-component plain bearings and metal-polymer bearings to a wear test. In addition to the test results, you will also find useful information about our two-component products and materials in our fact sheet.

The two components of are firmly joined together via injection moulding. This manufacturing process makes them a particularly cost-effective alternative to other bearings for heavy-duty applications.
The inner layer consists of an iglidur sliding surface that guarantees low friction. The incorporated solid lubricants guarantee regular lubrication of the bearing point and thus make regular maintenance work superfluous.
The outer jacket provides mechanical stability for the plain bearing. It is made of an extremely strong plastic and ensures that the plain bearing operates smoothly even under extreme loads and adverse conditions.

CLAAS needed injection moulding plain bearings with a special shape in the shortest possible time. igus manufactured and delivered the required plain bearings within seven days.

Our heavy-duty plain bearings are used in the chassis of gantry cranes and save maintenance work and costs.

The bucket opening at L&K is implemented with iglidur plain bearings. This guarantees L&K customers long-lasting use without lubrication.
