Passenger boarding bridge
e-chains® replace festoonings on passenger jetways for increased reliability.
Lehký letoun Twister
Consistent application of igus® plain bearings in the aircraft design in fiber composite honeycomb-
sandwich construction.
Airplane prototype
Changeover to corrosion-resistant, lightning-resistant and insulated plastic plain bearing in the entire airplane system.
Roztahovací brzdová klapka
These igus® bearings look particularly suited for the specified application, as they are resistant to water, dirt and temperature and are also maintenance-free.
Airfoils in aircrafts
Here the challenge in the design was that the bearing of the group of components for the application in the measuring medium water had to be designed.
Helicopter load system
A novel external load system for helicopters required a low weight, high reliability with simultaneous weather resistance and freedom from maintenance.
Rotor head
iglidur® G is the problem solver in this rotor head The rotor blades rotate about 400 times per minute and thereby execute oscillating motion with maximum 30°.
Hot-air balloon
Plastic plain bearing in almost oxygen-free atmosphere: World record for flight altitude in a hot-air balloon.
Hydraulic lifter in airplane hangar
Hydraulic working platforms in an airplane hangar for the Airbus A380 in Singapore are equipped with igus® e-chains®.
Airfield tanker vehicle
Hoses and cables in energy chains of igus® in airfield tank vehicle.
Satellite salvage service
An increasing amount of space junk, in other words no longer required or defect parts from space missions orbiting the earth, is also threatening current missions.
Plachtící simulátor Flugservolator
The bearings from igus® were decided because they are maintenance-free and cost-effective and absolutely simple to handle.
Rocket launch site
The igus® products used are designed for mobile applications in such a way that it features a long life and functions absolutely reliably.

triflex® R as a complete solution for several tasks at once on a suspended robot
Test stand for control centres
Only extensive earthbound testing can demonstrate the suitability of components for space applications.
Aircraft project
This project is a study module for the development of a model airplane. iglidur® bearings were used for mounting the aileron.
Passenger boarding bridges
Use of energy chains and highly flexible chainflex® cables in the telescopic
movement for driving the gangway up to the plane
and in the
lifting movement to bring the gangway to the height of the doors.
Passenger boarding bridges
Use of an energy chain series 4040C.30.250.0 in a gangway.
Passenger boarding bridges
Use of an energy chain in a passenger boarding bridge.
Passenger boarding bridges
