Plain Bearings for Sheet Metal
Sheet metal components used in automotive manufacturing demand bearing solutions that are compact, durable, and easy to install.
This page explains the difference between some of the igus® plain bearings for sheet metal and suggests certain applications they are most suited to. The bearings are a lightweight, lubrication-free alternative to conventional metal bearings, helping manufacturers reduce weight within their application, whilst reducing maintenance requirements, and improve long-term reliability.
From clip bearings, flanged bushings to double flange and snap-fit solutions, the range of bearing technologies are designed to compensate for tolerances, help simplify automated assembly, and deliver high performance in demanding automotive environments.
