Use high-performance polymers to render failure-prone bearing points wear-resistant and maintenance-free

Extremely robust and vibration-resistant energy chain

The flatbed semi-trailer of this heavy-duty transporter can be extended to a length of 62m. Customised vehicle energy chains of the proven E4.1 series are used in order to ensure that the electrical, brake and hydraulic cables can roll safely in the inner tubes. They are exposed to very strong push and pull forces which they have to endure continuously when the vehicle pulls out.

Corrosion-free and cost-effective plain bearing solution

The platform lift of this ambulance is exposed to moisture, friction and constant load. For this reason MBB Palfinger relies on our cost-effective and wear-resistant polymer plain bearings for its platform lifts. Incorporated dry lubricants eliminate the need for additional lubrication oil. It was very important that the plain bearings fit into the existing housings of the structure.

iglidur® plain bearings with heavy dirt

FAUN Viatec GmbH, a member of the German Kirchhoff Group, decided in favour of self-lubricating and therefore maintenance-free iglidur® plastic plain bearings. They permanently ensure the longevity of sweepers, which are used daily in towns and communities or on construction sites, in steel mills or for cleaning runways.

Constant stability at extreme vibration

The iglidur® H2 plain bearings are resistant to media, pressure and wear and can, for example, also be used in brake calliper bearings of lorries. They are made entirely of high-performance polymers and are therefore corrosion-resistant and self-lubricating, which reduces the maintenance cost enormously. Their price-performance ratio makes them unbeatable.

Linear technology for ergonomic and silent operation

With drylin® W linear guides, seats in the driver's cab can be easily and silently adapted to the individual needs of the driver. The movement takes place through polymer liners - with incorporated dry lubricants - on aluminium rails, so that no additional lubricants are needed. This makes drylin® linear guides dirt-resistant, corrosion-free and clean.

Energy chains for the safe guidance of hydraulic cables

Our E2 bracket energy chain is ideal for guiding and protecting hydraulic cables on the supports. The special inner contour of this e-chain® protects the hydraulic hoses and thus ensures a long service life. Due to the high stability and low bend radius of the E2 energy chain, unsupported lengths and small installation spaces are no problem.
