Lightweight bearings and cable guides for reliable movement in the car

igus car with bearings and e-chain

Our bearings and cable guides made of high-performance plastic score points with their low weight and quiet running. This also makes them ideal for use in electric vehicles in particular, where the lightest components that cause as little interference noise/BSR as possible are required.

Thanks to incorporated solid lubricants, the operation of our linear plain bearings, linear guides and coupling joints is completely maintenance-free. They withstand high temperatures, vibrations and impacts, are insensitive to dirt and corrosion-free.

Our compact energy chains ensure a reliable energy supply for the increasing number of electrically controlled functions in vehicles - in sliding doors or seat adjustments, for example. In confined installation spaces, they reliably guide the moving power and signal cables over countless cycles.

Play it safe without PTFE

Materials for automotive applications that do not contain PTFE

The EU is currently planning restrictions on PFAS chemicals - including PTFE. Although it is still unclear whether PTFE will be completely banned, many vehicle manufacturers are already looking for alternatives. When it comes to bearing technology, we can help. For many automotive applications, we already offer plain bearing materials that have been tested for harmful PFAS and do not require PTFE.

White paper: focussing on PFAS

Planned restrictions, challenges and solutions for the industry

What exactly are PFAS and why are they so popular in the consumer sector and in industry, especially in the automotive sector? Why is there an impending EU-wide ban and what can companies do now?
The white paper sheds light on these questions and shows how igus, as a plastics processor, is responding to the planned restriction at an early stage and can offer its customers PTFE-free and PFAS-tested alternatives.
