Bearing technology for actuators & control elements
The automotive industry is responding to the increasing desire for comfort with more electrification in the vehicle. This also increases the number of actuators and control elements - for example in longitudinal, height and tilt adjustments of seats, in locking systems, window lifters, sliding roofs, rear view cameras or lighting systems. For these applications, we have plain bearings, lead screws and lead screw nuts as well as gears and gearing components in our product range. We would be happy to assist you in your selection.
Requirements for products in actuators:
- No NVH
- High number of cycles > 1 million
- Resistance to lubricants
Advantages of igus® bearing technology:
- Cost advantage compared to metallic rolled bearings and ball bearings
- Up to 80% weight savings
- Quiet operation
- Operates dry without lubrication
