Durable, maintenance-free components for renewable energies

DEGERenergie relies on our igubal ESQM pillow block bearings in its single-axis tracking systems. As they require neither lubrication nor maintenance, unlike metal bearings, the customer can reduce operating costs. Thanks to the low-friction movement and ability to compensate for misalignment, system performance is significantly improved.

CityFreighter has developed a tracking photovoltaic module that maximises energy yield so as to provide mobile homes with a self-sufficient power supply. Its mechanics consist of lubrication-free motion plastics from igus. They ensure precise and maintenance-free movement of the solar panel, even in adverse weather conditions.

UV-resistant plain bearings in Fresnel collectors and parabolic mirrors, media-resistant spherical bearings in solar cleaning robots, slide bearings in wave energy converters, corrosion-resistant energy supply systems on tidal turbines and computing systems: discover other applications from our customers in which our motion plastics are used and play to their strengths.
