The dry-tech dry-running technology is the culmination of 50 years of achievement by Igus, primarily applied in the development and manufacturing of engineering plastic bearings. It can also be customized to meet customer needs. The popularity of Igus igus engineering plastic bearings stems from their advantages such as low cost, light weight, wear resistance, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance—qualities that traditional metal ball bearings, DU bearings, and bronze bushings simply cannot match.
German Igus igus, founded in 1964 and now nearly 50 years old, was established with the corporate philosophy of “Plastic for longer life” by founder Gunter Blase, who believed that engineering plastics could revolutionize industry. With the corporate slogan “Innovation with Polymers,” Igus conveys its dedication and mission to product innovation to its customers.
In Taiwan’s cycling industry today, iglidur maintenance-free bushes are widely used in hubs, derailleurs, pedals, shock absorbers, forks, braking systems, and the folding pivot points of small folding bikes.
There are numerous application examples of Igus engineering plastic bearings. For instance, the Contrail MGN mountain bike manufactured by Bergamont is one of the top full-suspension mountain bikes available. This Hamburg-based bicycle brand has applied Igus’ innovative engineering plastic bearing technology to its bicycles, particularly in the rear suspension structure of its carbon fiber frames.
Athletes competing in mountain biking events at the Olympics all use Igus products. The iglidur G engineering plastic bearings used in SRAM derailleurs have successfully tackled the most challenging terrains and highest pressures.
Therefore, Igus dry-tech dry-running technology engineering plastic bearings are the best choice for bicycle design. Contact number: (04) 2358-1000, website: www.igus.com.tw.
