Cleanroom solutions up to ISO Class 1
Display robots or in pick-and-place applications in semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronics
Cleanroom environments impose exceptionally strict demands on the abrasion resistance of moving components, as even the smallest particle release can compromise sensitive processes, damage products or lead to costly production interruptions.
To meet these challenges, igus® designs and validates its high‑performance polymer components in a dedicated in‑house cleanroom laboratory, where materials and systems are tested under realistic operating conditions. For additional verification and independent certification, our products undergo further evaluation by the Fraunhofer Institute, ensuring reliable, data‑driven proof of cleanroom suitability.

- use energy supply more sustainably
Successful in use in cleanroom applications
Frequently asked questions
As the quality requirements for cleanroom technology applications are constantly growing, igus® is continuously working on improving its products. For this purpose, igus® has been carrying out tests for cleanroom suitability in its own test laboratory since 1997. In addition, appropriate products are tested externally by the Fraunhofer Institute.
The cleanroom suitability of our iglidur® plain bearings is determined on the basis of the wear particles released in the application. The size and quantity of the released wear particles depend on:
• the respective pairing of shaft and bearing material
• further parameters such as load, speed etc.
Therefore, there are no clearly defined cleanroom materials for our plain bearings, but instead they depend on their use.
