Active grill shutter with iglidur® plain bearings

Front grills are often active vehicle components with flap systems or roller mechanisms. Since the bearing points here are outside the vehicle, they are constantly in contact with dirt or water. This is where our iglidur plain bearings and xiros ball bearings display their advantages over metallic bearings:

  • Completely dry-operating without external lubricants
  • Consistent performance and no maintenance
  • Corrosion-free
  • Lightweight
Sebastian Bloechl, Sales Manager for the Automotive Industry, explains the advantages of our lubrication-free plain and ball bearings in front grills.
