Anywhere two components are moving against each other, lubrication is expected to be necessary. However, you can eliminate grease and other additional lubricants from your machines with tribologically optimized polymer components from igus. The polymers used in these components are embedded with solid lubricants which evenly dispense during normal operation. This ensures constant, adequate lubrication that extends a component’s service life and reduces — or even eliminates — maintenance costs and time. All plastic igus components, from plain, spherical and linear bearings to gears, 3D printing materials and shafting don’t require any external lubricants or grease.  Learn more about our self-lubricating plastics.
