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
