Medical surroundings require components that fulfil the highest hygiene standards. Lubrication-free and corrosion-resistant plain bearings and energy supplies made of a special plastic are the right choice here. Plastic bearings are used in X-ray robots, laboratory devices, patient and treatment chairs, hospital beds and prostheses. Maintenance-free energy chains are used for the protection and guidance of cables, e.g. in operating theatre devices, rehabilitation systems and imaging diagnostic equipment. Our components are cleanroom-compatible, media-resistant and quiet - for the highest medical requirements.

▲ Tech up: freedom from lubrication and maintenance for hygiene sensitive areas
▼Cost down: up to 25% less wear and up to 30% longer service life due to thread asymmetry
Due to the acute need for respirators worldwide and the development of new solutions for automating resuscitation bags (Ambu bags): igus quickly delivers free samples, components and further support.
We will also be pleased to answer your questions about the technology and function of these applications with our specialists.
Frame adjustment mechanisms, electric and hydraulic actuators for adjusting functions.
Dental X-ray systems, storage surfaces and device holders, movement of treatment units.
Lamps, moveable device holders, comfort seating systems and mobile/stationary eye-testing devices.
Scissor-type mechanisms, adjustable trays or chassis components.
Tables, lamps, plug-in devices and monitor carriers.

Trying things out made easy: with the igus corner, you always have the most recent motion plastics suited for your individual industry sector to hand.
We will bring the display to you, assemble it upon request, and fill the compartments with the products of your choice. Or you can set it up yourself. As a permanent exhibition or for a limited period of time.
Countless bacteria collect on tablets and other mobile devices by just one touch. However, as normal disinfectants can damage the surfaces, the American company CleanSlate UV developed a UV cleaning device. CleanSlate UV successfully and gently kills bacteria with UV rays and lubrication-free drylin® linear axes.
Energy chains from the twisterchain series are used in X-ray robots from Buck Engineering & Consulting GmbH. The twisterchain enables safe cable guidance in the case of rotations of up to 540°.
iglidur G bearings are extremely robust and withstand frequent adjustment of the bed without any problems. Due to their material composition, they do not require lubrication and are also corrosion-free and maintenance-free.
iglidur H1 plain bearings, drylin linear technology and lead screw technology are used in MRI machines as they are not ferromagnetic and are impervious to methods of cleaning and sterilisation.
Metal bearings with stainless steel shafts used for this decanter centrifuge led to high costs incurred due to material wear, maintenance and lubrication. Ever since installing iglidur plain bearings, the manufacturer has been able to reduce the costs by 93% and shorten the assembly time by ten minutes.
