High performance for high demands

Lubrication-free bearing technology for motorbikes and scooters

Mobility does not compromise. Motorcycles and motor scooters are not just for reliably getting people from A to B, but also for having fun. Wear due to rust and heavy use, poor performance due to bearing points contaminated by grease and dirt, rough rides, and high maintenance and cost are all things nobody wants. Our plastic plain and rolling bearings mean that you don't have to compromise. The high-performance components are tough and low-wear. Because external lubrication has been eliminated, no mixture of grease and dirt can build up at the points where they are used, harm the material, and require painstaking removal. And in contrast to metal, plastic weighs less. Suspension forks, throttle valves, and brakes are just a few of the places where our iglidur plain bearings are used.

Advantages of iglidur plain bearings:

Lightweight
Thin-walled and space-saving
Corrosion-resistant
Vibration-dampening
Highly wear-resistant and resilient
Lubrication-free
Long predictable service life

To victory with ease

Polymer bearings in racing motorcycles

Krämer Motorcycles (KMC) were looking for light and maintenance-free bearings for their Supermono racing bike. The solution: iglidur plain bearings, which are used in the link, brake and shift system as well as in the footrests. Additionally, two igubal rod end bearings are used in the foot brake lever. In contrast to metal solutions, igus products are light and, thanks to their dry operation, resistant to dirt and maintenance-free. Furthermore, you can precisely calculate their service life with the igus online tools.

Motorcycle rear-wheel suspension

Safe driving in dirt, wet conditions and heavy impacts

Dirt, salt and moisture had taken their toll on the bearings on the Jumptec rear suspension. They became clogged, corroded over time and even broke under very strong impacts. The designers therefore replaced the conventional roller bearings with our plastic bearings, which no longer cause any problems thanks to their dry operation and resistance to dirt, salt and moisture.

Front fork

Corrosion-resistant and insensitive to torsional loading

Lubrication and maintenance-free iglidur W300 plain bearings were used in front forks. They are maintenance-free and have a service life of more than three years, which means lower costs overall.

Longer service life for centrifugal clutches with iglidur bearings

Giprime Hyper Racing is a company that builds centrifugal clutches used in two-stroke racing machines. Clutches of this kind are normally mounted without plain bearings, leading to fast wear. Using highly abrasion-resistant plastic plain bearings greatly increases the service life and eliminates the necessity of replacing the entire coupling.
