Bearings and energy chains for commercial vehicles

Heavy loads, dirt, heat, low temperatures and humidity: Commercial vehicles and lorries have a rough working day. No tradesperson can afford downtime, and usually the tight schedules do not allow time for maintenance. Energy chains, plain bearings and linear guides made of iglidur plastics help you increase reliability in and around the vehicle at many fault-prone places. The products are characterised by a high level of robustness, predictable operating times and the fact that they do not require lubrication. No lubricants also means no dirt contained in the grease that limits mobility.

Areas of application

Which product at which installation point?

Whether on the wing mirror, in the tilt mechanism of the cab or on the steering linkage: The requirements for bearing vary depending on where they are used on and in the lorry. We will show you which product is the right one for which application.

Application locations in lorries

Boarding systems, pantographs, wheelchair ramps, passenger seats: Our bearings and energy supply systems are used in these and other areas of buses. Here you will find our product recommendations for the respective area of application.

White paper

PFAS

What exactly are PFAS, why are they so popular in the consumer sector and in industry, especially in the automotive sector? Why is there a threat of an EU-wide ban and what can companies do now?
The white paper sheds light on these questions and shows how igus, as a plastics processor, is responding to the planned restriction at an early stage and can offer its customers PTFE-free and PFAS-tested alternatives.

iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear technology and igubal coupling joints are tested for real use in the largest plastics test laboratory in the industry. The focus is on testing assemblies and examining the tribological properties of different material combinations. The results are integrated into our online service life calculation tools and enable precise durability predictions.

igus also performs customer tests on request to check the use of the products under specific conditions.
