Bearing technology in motor vehicles

Quiet, light, durable car bearings

Plain bearings, linear guides and coupling joints by igus® have been designed for dynamic use and tough environments. The high-performance polymer car bearings withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, shocks, dirt and corrosion. They are lubrication-free, durable, maintenance-free and quiet. The low weight of the polymer car bearings leads to a higher performance of the entire construction and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
In the course of e-mobility and the requirement for quieter motors,  components and modules have increased pressure to be as quiet as possible and ideally have dampening properties. igus® polymers minimise the coefficient of friction, hence resulting in less wear and a quieter operation.

Areas of use of igus® automotive bearings

Interior

iglidur plain bearings in the car seat

Low-noise, easily adjustable seat systems

iglidur® plain bearings are resistant to high static loads up to 120 MPa without problems. To compensate tolerances, the plain bearings use high temperatures for drying after the e-coating.
More applications

Exterior and chassis

iglidur plain bearings in a headlamp

Corrosion-free bearings in multiple-joint hinges

iglidur® plain bearings are used in door hinges and multiple-joint hinges as they are corrosion-free, compensate for tolerances, are suitable for e-coating and operate noiselessly.
More applications

Engine compartment

iglidur plain bearings in coolant pumps

Media-resistant plain bearings in coolant pumps

iglidur® plain bearings are media-resistant but also more cost-effective than ceramic and carbon-graphite bearings. They operate silently and ideal for high surface speeds.
