Duurzame, onderhoudsvrije componenten voor hernieuwbare energie

Lower operating costs with lubrication-free pillow block bearings in single-axis tracking systems

on our igubal ESQM pillow block bearings in its single-axis tracking systems. As they require neither lubrication nor maintenance, unlike metal bearings, the customer can reduce operating costs. Thanks to the low-friction movement and ability to compensate for misalignment, system performance is significantly improved.

Lubrication-free bearing technology for precise adjustment of solar trackers for mobile homes

CityFreighter has developed a tracking photovoltaic module that maximises energy yield so as to provide mobile homes with a self-sufficient power supply. Its mechanics consist of lubrication-free motion plastics from igus. They ensure precise and maintenance-free movement of the solar panel, even in adverse weather conditions.
