Lightweight bearing technology without lubrication for drones and UAVs

Unmanned flights will increasingly characterise our future. Be it the transport of people in air taxis or the delivery of parcels by drones. Low weight, use in wind and weather and a long service life place high demands on components for drones. With our products made of high-performance plastic, you are optimally positioned for this, because they do not require additional lubricants, are quiet and corrosion-free. In addition, many iglidur® materials fulfil the fire protection standard FAR 25.853.

Advantages of igus® products:

cost-effective
Space and weight saving
Low noise and low vibration
Chemical-, dirt- and corrosion-free
Fast delivery
