drylin linear systems and iglidur plain bearings provide lubrication-free adjustment of an exoskeleton for stroke patients. Many stroke patients worldwide suffer from hemiplegia (half-side paralysis). Exoskeletons such as Harmony from Harmonic Bionics can help rebuild the nerve tracts in arms and shoulders. In order to quickly adapt the robot-supported system to different body sizes in physiotherapy, the developers rely on the lightweight, lubrication-free and maintenance-free plain bearing technology from igus.
