igus competitions and awards
motion plastics are used worldwide and in over 50 different industries, such as the automotive industry, medical technology, and robots. Our products are used for a wide variety of applications – and we ourselves are constantly surprised by the exciting, creative applications our customers come up with. We want to encourage and honour this innovative spirit with our competitions and awards:
manus award
For exceptional plastic plain bearing applications
With the manus award, igus recognises the most creative, economical and sustainable use of polymer plain bearings in industrial applications. Anything is possible, from series applications to custom pieces, as long as at least one prototype has been built. The award has been presented every two years since 2003. A jury of experts honours the applications of polymer plain bearings in a total of four categories: gold, silver, bronze and green manus award.
