Plain bearings for thermal management

With the continuing trend towards BEV, PHEV and HEV, the importance of thermal management (TM) is increasing and with it the demands on the systems. igus offers the right bearing for various TM applications such as water pumps and cooling water manufacturers and will be happy to support you in your selection.

Bearing requirements in TM applications:

  • Resistance to water-glycol
  • Temperatures up to 150°C
  • No leakage over service life
  • Resistant to contamination from moulding sand

Advantages of igus plain bearings:

  • Cost advantages over carbon graphite, PTFE and ceramic bearings
  • Quiet operation
  • Up to 80% weight savings
  • Ideally suited in combination with plastic shafts
  • Overmoulding possible
