New products for a lubricant-free world
The dry-running polymer bearings save money and increase the safety of machinery. Lubricant and maintenance-free plastic bearings are also environmentally friendly:
Worldwide, more than 50% of lubricants are discharged into the environment. (State of Baden-Württemberg Environmental Protection Agency)
In a global lubricant consumption of 37.3 million tons per year (RWTH Aachen), more than 18 million tons are thus discharged without any safeguards into the environment
Malfunctions due to deficient lubrication cause USD 240 billion in damage in the US alone (MIT)
Germany consumes 1.1 million tons of lubricant per year in metal processing operations, involving the use of various oils to lubricate machinery and machinery elements, as well as hydraulic oils for operating equipment (study by the State of Baden-Württemberg Environmental Protection Agency)
