Lubrication-free position adjustment of design lamp

Application Overview

• What was needed: The lightest possible plain bearings for horizontal and vertical adjustment

• Solution: iglide® G plain bearing
• Success for the customer: Clean, smooth adjustment of the lamp with high wear resistance

Lightweight, lubrication-free and durable storage

In addition to aesthetic design, good design also includes functionality. The PLUSminus luminaire is the product of Slovenian designer Matej Štefanac and fulfils precisely these conditions. The lamp can be adjusted vertically and horizontally with ease and fluidity and locks into position when released.

The centerpiece for the movement: Plain bearings made of the material iglide® G, our all-rounders for the most diverse applications. Thanks to their incorporated solid lubricants, they - like all our plastic bearings - do not require any lubrication. Without grease, no dirt sticks to them, which ensures that the sliding lamp parts continue to move smoothly and saves on tedious maintenance work. The bearings also score points with their much lower weight compared to metal bushings, making them a perfect fit for the lightweight design concept.
