Automotive manufacturing solutions

Motion plastics are components for the modern automotive industry. Lightweight and quiet operation are just two of the many advantages of precision components made of high-performance plastics. They are also corrosion-resistant and lubrication-free, and their predictable service life makes them reliable components that offer technical advantages and are often more cost-effective than metallic components. From adjustable seats to plain bearings in coolant pumps, igus® products can help with automotive manufacturing solutions.
