Lubrication-free, cleanroom-compatible, media-resistant, corrosion-free, low noise – These are crucial criteria for medical equipment components. igus® supplies plastic bearings and energy chains that possess exactly these properties. Lubrication-free bearings are used in X-ray robots, laboratory devices, patients' chairs, hospital beds and prostheses, among other things. Maintenance-free energy chains are used for the protection and guidance of cables in e.g. operating theatre devices, rehabilitation systems and imaging diagnostic equipment.

Energy chains from the twisterchain series are used in X-ray robots of the company Buck Engineering & Consulting GmbH. twisterchain enables safe and reliable cable guidance in the case of rotations through up to 540°.
iglidur® H1 bearings, linear technology and lead screw technology are used in MRI machines as they are not ferromagnetic and are impervious to methods of cleaning and sterilisation.
iglidur® G bearings are extremely robust and withstand frequent adjustment of the couch without any problems occurring. Due to their material composition, they do not require lubrication and are also corrosion-free and maintenance-free.
Metal bearings with stainless-steel shafts used for this decanter centrifuge led to high costs incurred due to material wear, maintenance and lubrication. After iglidur® bearings were installed, the manufacturer was able to reduce the costs by 93% and shorten the assembly time by 10 minutes.
