Facade systems with motion plastics

Among architects, facade is the term to describe the front view of a building and is part of the principle of the building envelope. Windows or engaged columns are summarised as facade elements. Whether composite fronts made of aluminium or suspended facades made of glass: there is ever increasing demand for a high-level of functionality, technology and quality in modern buildings: greater energy efficiency, modern design, longer maintenance-free service life with falling costs.

With igubal® spherical bearings, this allows for machine parts to be made out of compounded polymers for indoor and outdoor applications.

Tested in the igus test laboratory for use in the real world

Tested for continuous load, media resistance and quiet operation

In the industry's largest plastics test laboratory, iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear technology and igubal coupling joints are put through their paces. The focus is on testing assemblies and examining the tribological specifications of different material combinations. The results are integrated into our service life calculation tools and allow precise durability predictions.

Upon request, igus performs customer tests to check product use under specific conditions.
