In 1984, the same year that Apple introduced the
Macintosh, the polymer plain bearing specialist
igus® GmbH,
began its material research. Over the past 25 years, igus® has
developed 29 different material blends, which all possess a
certain set of special features making them suitable for
particular applications and requirements. igus®’ line of iglide®
plastic plain bearings constitute the step from a simple plastic
bearing to a tested, predictable and available machine
component.
