Lubrication-free and maintenance-free products for the textile industry

In the textile industry, using lubrication-free and dust-resistant components has top priority. These and many other requirements are completely met by the high-performance polymers from igus that are maintenance-free and tribologically optimized. igus products are self-lubricating and maintenance-free, making them ideal for use in textile machines, which often operate at high cycle rates and in harsh environments. Their long service life and smooth running can save manufacturers a lot of money on maintenance and downtime.
