Products and services

Iglidur plastic bearings
These are designed to be reliable, maintenance free and cost effective.
They offer high wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction and can replace more costly alternatives in a variety of applications.
The plastic bearings are chemical and corrosion resistant.
They do not require any lubrication, enabling engineers to improve the uptime of equipment and to reduce maintenance and lubrications costs.
