About igus® GmbH
The story of igus® begins on 15th October 1964 with Günter Blase in a double garage in Cologne-Mülheim. For the first twenty years, we worked as a supplier of complex technical polymer components. In 1983 Frank Blase starts our own product lines Energy Chain Systems® and polymer bearings as well as a network of sales engineers. Between 1985 and 2014, we grew from 40 to more than 2400 igus® employees, distributed the world over. We will continue to invest in expansion for the coming years. The opportunities are there thanks to modern materials!
Polymer plain bearings from igus® signify the step from plastic bushings to proven and tested, and therefore predictable and quickly available, machine elements.

Unlike the familiar recirculating ball bearing systems, drylin® - linear plain bearings move on glide pads. drylin® linear bearing systems are designed for dry-running operation. Your applications are...
Trapezoidal lead screws from igus®: Dry-running, no lubrication, resistant to dirt, maintenance-free, superior emergency operation properties, corrosion-free, low-noise, use up to max. 90 °C.
drylin® R linear bearings are based on extremely wear-resistant polymers specifically developed for linear technology. The dimensions are compatible with standard ball bearings.
Special characteristics of axial bearings include simple assembly, compensation of alignment errors, compensation of edge loads, very good gliding and wear characteristics, and small installation spac...
In addition to zero maintenance, the main features of drylin® linear technology include ruggedness and resistance to factors such as dirt, water, chemicals, heat or shock.
drylin® R flanged housings are available as linear bearings with round or square flanges. Linear bearings are based on extremely wear-resistant polymers specifically developed for linear technology. T...
