Clean, quiet and lightweight components are essential in modern furniture design, and these requirements alone drive strong demand for our motion plastics within the industry. But our lubrication‑free, high‑performance polymers offer far more than that.
They operate smoothly and effortlessly throughout their entire service life without the need for maintenance. Because they run without external lubricants, surrounding materials such as fabrics, leather and wood remain clean and protected from stains or contamination. Whether hidden inside mechanisms or used as visible elements, they ensure reliable movement in applications such as extendable tables, adjustable sofas, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom fittings or outdoor furniture.
Our bearing solutions, energy chains and flexible cables are trusted wherever motion is required. Proven daily in demanding industrial environments, they combine durability with clean, quiet performance — recognition reflected in multiple iF and Red Dot design awards.
Tested for continuous load, media resistance and quiet operation
In the industry's largest plastics test laboratory, iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear technology and igubal coupling joints are put through their paces. The focus is on testing assemblies and examining the tribological specifications of different material combinations. The results are incorporated into our service life calculation tools and allow exact durability predictions.
Upon request, igus performs customer tests to check product use under specific conditions.
