Durable, maintenance-free components for renewable energies

Energy generation, especially from renewable energy sources, requires reliable and durable technology solutions. The various systems are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, high wind loads, dirt and dust and have to withstand these for years.

Adapted to the respective system, igus offers special solutions made of high-performance polymers that help you to improve your technology, optimize your system and reduce costs.

Advantages of igus® products:

• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• UV-resistant
• Insensitive to dirt and dust
• Resistant to weathering
• Corrosion-resistant
• Long, predictable service life
• Customized solutions

The new generation of our solar tracker-bearing

More fun with the sun! With our ESQM 2.0, we are taking our tried-and-tested pillow block bearing for tracking solar modules to the next level and making it even more robust, compact and easy to install:

• 3 times higher UV resistance thanks to optimised housing and spherical cap material
• 20 mm lower installation height thanks to metal bracket on the upper part of the housing
• Recesses for cable guidance along the profile
• Easier installation thanks to U-alignment of the spherical ball and pins on the lower housing that prevent the bearing from slipping away
• Static radial load: at 0° angle compensation = 50 kN; at 9° = 25 kN
