igus® Ltd.
The aerospace industry consists of many different areas: the aircraft itself (e.g. airplane, helicopter or drone/UAV), the airport surroundings including ground support (GSE) as well as space technology. Here, the various segments have different requirements. Low weight, long service life, quiet operation and great robustness are among the most important of those requirements, and our motion plastics meet them. They also comply with the FAR 25.853 fire protection standard. Our wide range of products offers cost-effective solutions in all segments – always in keeping with our motto: Tech up and Cost down.
Would you like more information about the products used in the aerospace industry or do you need an individual consultation? Our experts will be happy to get in touch with you.
Whether airplane interior or helicopter engine: our products made of FAR-certified materials stand out due to their low weight and high security.
Whether fixed wing aircraft or automated charging stations: we offer customised and individual systems for your drone application.
For passenger boarding bridges and de-icing vehicles, we will find reliable, cost-effective e-chain and bearing technology solutions for your airport infrastructure application.
Whether a Mars rover or satellite ground station: our products made of high-performance polymers withstand even the highest demands of space.
White paper
Plastics used in aircraft interiors must meet stringent fire protection requirements. Here, there are general and industry-specific sets of rules as well as manufacturer-related specifications. Read the white paper to find out what they are and why designers have an easier time with engineered plastics.
This year, we are launching 168 innovations. Industry manager Florian Schiller introduces the top aviation and aerospace innovations in less than four minutes. For example, the polymer drylin linear bearing:
e-chains with fire safety certificate for aircraft interiors
Quiet telescopic rail with prism preload
Lightweight slewing ring bearings for small installation spaces
