Plain bearings in hinges
In the convertible top, in steps or spoiler kinematics: single and multi-joint hinges are used in various places on the vehicle and are usually equipped with metal-rolled bearings with PTFE coating. In order to achieve a low-clearance system, however, these bearings have to be recalibrated at great expense. Our solid plastic bushings, on the other hand, simply calibrate themselves through the heat effect during the e-coating process. The result: A low clearance bearing even with a rough sheet metal hole
Requirements for bearings in hinge applications:
- Low-clearance bearing support
- E-coating suitability
- High compressive strength
Advantages of igus plain bearings:
- Tolerance compensation possible through e-coating process
- No contact corrosion
- Electrically conductive materials
- Quiet operation
