Completely self-lubricating


Eliminating lubrication and oils means no danger of resinification or formation of a paste-like mixture. The lubrication incorporated into the tribologically optimised spherical bearing materials also ensure even lubrication across the entire service life.

Spherical bearings for the smallest installation space
 
 
 

Space-saving & easy to install

A plastic plain bearing spherical ball in a housing adapted to it gives each igubal® spherical bearing a very compact design. This allows a full-fledged bearing to be used in a very small installation space and to be assembled and disassembled in very tight spaces.


Save up to 80% weight


igubal® polymer spherical bearings weigh up to 80% less than comparable metallic bearings. For example, there is thus less mass to move, reducing energy consumption. The bearings are thus ideal for applications in which lightweight design is important.
Weight saving of up to 50%

Lubrication-free igubal® plastic spherical bearings
 
 

Up to 78% more cost-effective than comparable metal solutions


Our plastic spherical bearings distinguish themselves from their metallic counterparts not only with their technical advantages, such as elimination of lubrication and freedom from rust, but also in price (up to 78% more cost-effective).

∎ Lightweight and high load capacity


"A single property is critical: because high-strength igus® bearings can be made of plastic, they are extremely lightweight – and when you're building an ultralight aircraft, literally every gramme counts. “
 
Jürgen Ostermeier | Founder of B. O. T. Aircraft GmbH

Sustainability

No lubrication necessary

 
Our spherical bearings require not a drop of lubricating oil. Not only our users, but also the environment profit from this. In addition, our tribologically optimised materials produce less abrasion, as a result of which less energy is needed.
