Lubrication-free and wear-resistant iglidur rollers have a service life that is up to six times longer than that of solutions made of POM or PA

Three at one fell swoop: due to high demand, igus is launching new pulleys, skate wheels and roller adapters in series production, which were previously only available as customised products. Manufactured from high-performance plastics, the new components are an economical alternative to classic metal counterparts in numerous applications. They are lubrication-free, dirt-resistant, durable, maintenance-free, vibration-dampening, and ensure quiet operation.
