Surfing on tarmac with wear-resistant plain bearings from igus13/06/2019
Whether skating or surfing, the curfboard from curfboard GmbH combines the two sports in a new sports and leisure equipment. So the manufacturer promises "the ultimate surf-ride feeling on wheels". Ensured by the new, special axes. They do without any rubber dampers or springs and have a 4-joint kinematics, which makes them self-regulating. Gravity assists the automatic adjustment to the weight of the rider. In addition, the board has a better response behaviour, making it easier to control. Another special feature is that the rider no longer has to push off to move. Instead, similar to surfing, speed is built up by shifting the body's weight – and even uphill. The demands on the components are therefore particularly high. While the skateboard stresses the axles and the bearings particularly when cornering, the curfboard is exposed to stress all the time. To withstand these stresses, Stephan Augustin, the inventor of the Curfboard, chose wear-resistant plain bearings made of iglidur Z and iglidur J350 high-performance polymers. |
