Spherical bearings made of
high-performance plastics

Up to 40% more cost-effective and 80% lighter than comparable metal bearings


igubal® spherical bearings are maintenance-free, self-aligning bearing elements manufactured completely from plastic. Depending on the choice of material, use at temperatures of up to +200°C is possible.

The entire igubal® joint system is insensitive to dust and dirt and resistant to to corrosion. Thanks to its lubrication-free properties, there are no obstacles to use in liquid media.
The igubal® expert will guide you through the few steps necessary to calculate the service life of spherical bearings online.
