Plain bearings in hinges
For clearance-free movement of convertible tops, spoilers, steps, doors and rear lids
Single and multi-joint hinges are used at various points on the vehicle and are usually fitted with metal-rolled bearings with a PTFE coating. To achieve a low-backlash system, however, these bearings have to be laboriously recalibrated. Our all-plastic bushings, on the other hand, simply calibrate themselves through the effect of heat during the e-coating process. The result: a low-backlash bearing even with a coarse sheet metal bore.
Requirements for bearing in hinge applications:
- Low backlash bearing
- Suitable for e-coating
- High compressive strength
Advantages of igus® plain bearings:
- Tolerance compensation possible through e-coating process
- No contact corrosion
- Electrically conductive materials
- Quiet running
