Weather-resistant bearings and energy supply systems for shipbuilding and equipment

High forces caused by wind and waves, changing weather and corrosive salt water: external components on boats and ships are exposed to harsh conditions. This is where our dry-running plain bearings and linear guides come into their own as they require no lubrication and are maintenance-free. Like our energy supply systems, they are also corrosion-free and lightweight. igus supplies solutions in 24 hours from stock or configured as required for customised applications, with no minimum order quantity.
