The design concept behind every iglide® plastic bushing is to reduce costs and increase service life by eliminating the need for oil and maintenance and offering an exceptionally low wear rate.
iglide® plastic bushings from igus® represent the next step up from a basic plastic bushing to a tested-and-proven, predictable machine component.
The suitability and service life of iglide® materials for your application can be quickly calculated using the iglide® Expert System online calculator.
