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 sliding bushes, linear guides and coupling joints is completely maintenance-free. They withstand high temperatures, vibrations and shocks, 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.
