Lubrication-free bearings and reliable cable protection for wheelchairs

Wheelchair with igus products

As wheelchairs have to be used both indoors and outdoors on a daily basis, manufacturers are faced with a particularly wide range of requirements. High forces, severe weather conditions, dirt and dust are just a few of the challenges that our bearing products and energy chain can help with.
Whether as plain bearings in wheelchair suspension or support rollers, linear guides for arm and footrests or rod ends for track rods. Our products and materials enable high damping capacity, low friction and wear values, maintenance- and lubrication-free operation and stick-slip-free movements for a good feeling of comfort.
