Mobility and rehabilitation equipment products

Adjustments of wheelchairs, fitness and rehabilitation equipment should be light, quiet and soft, over and over again. The use of igus plain bearings and linear systems offers the user a comfortable, high-quality feeling in the adjustment and due to the completely lubrication-free operation, all bearing points are clean and robust. Our bearings also show these advantages for prostheses and orthoses, which should feel as natural as possible. Our iglidur plain bearings withstand sustained high loads, impacts and dirt, even with thin walls, with a long service life with low coefficients of friction and without a slip-stick effect. Our e-chains and cables ensure safe energy supply even in confined spaces in electrical adjustments of sports equipment.

Success stories

Maintenance-free bearing technology in surf training equipment

The developers of Surf Evolution, a device for training surfing movements, were looking for better bearing technology. The solution: dry-operating iglidur bushings, dryspin lead screws and drylin W linear guides. They keep maintenance to a minimum and reduce costs by 70%.

Long-lasting piston guide in knee joint prosthesis

This prosthesis from Otto Bock HealthCare was equipped with iglidur J piston rings, which can be clipped onto the piston thanks to the slot and flexible material. This makes the installation very easy and decreases assembly time. The previously used PTFE guide bands wear out quickly and had to be replaced frequently.
