Bearings and shafting for the grounds maintenance and lawn care industry

Additionally, the strict heat and centrifugal force requirements involved when traditionally using oil-impregnated bronze bearings are not a factor since igus® parts are tribologically-optimized with embedded lubricants that activate when any motion is involved.

This allows for greater efficiency and dependability for commercial environments—maintenance teams that use a range of machines when caring for hotel grounds, athletic fields, golf courses, and larger turf areas. For residential users, eliminating the need for routine maintenance provides peace of mind and greater satisfaction.  

igus® offers polymer plain bearings, spherical bearings, rod end bearings, and more for grounds maintenance. Our bearings are available in a range of materials so that any environmental or mechanical requirements can be met. 

iglide® plain plastic bearings

• UV-resistant, hygienic, vibration-damping
• Wear-resistant in dusty and dirty environments
• Resistant to edge pressures

igubal® self-aligning bearings

• 100% self-lubricating and maintenance-free
• Extremely cost-effective and lightweight
• Dirt and dust resistant, vibration-damping
• Corrosion-resistant, can be used in liquid

igubal® rod end bearings

• Vibration damping and corrosion resistant
• Dimensional series K & E according to DIN ISO 12240
• High temperature and chemical-resistant options

GKF shafting
