In this video, igus highlights various industries and applications where its polymer bearings are used and have replaced metallic bearings.
Metal bearings are still popular for designers, but plastic bearings are replacing traditional metallic solutions more and more, either in new designs or to replace those old broken, rusting or wearing bearings.
The video demonstrates that they are up to the challenges withstanding the same forces, temperature and environmental pressures of metallic ones. And this is backed up with vigorous and continuous testing
