Igus has supplied Igubal EGZM-08-60 double-joint pivoting bearings for a single-wheel motorcycle trailer developed by Mono-Trail.

Positioned adjacent to the wheel, these bearings are susceptible to excessive amounts of salt water, dirt and debris.

The spherical balls at either end of the link arm in the Igubal double-joint pivoting bearings are engineered to run dry, which means they self-lubricate and are dirt-repellent and rugged.

In addition, without the need for lubricants or maintenance, grease nipples are eliminated from the design entirely.

The plastic also helps to dampen out the suspension and ensure that the trailer is lightweight.

Two Iglidur G bearings are used in the main lid, which is said to help create a quality feel on closing.

Two more are used in the glove box and another to counteract the flex in the draw bar.
