Smart plastics Polymerlager - German Innovation Award 2021

Smart plastics Polymerlager

Description With the new iglidur® 3D-isense technology, intelligent plain bearings can now be printed in any shape and quantity. The sensor loop is printed directly into the part. Unexpected machine and vehicle failures cost companies and users valuable time and money. From harvesting vehicles to huge paper machines – costs for maintenance and standstill can be high. With built in sensors, iglidur® isense bearings signal their wear status in time. When combined with the tried and tested, lubrication- and maintenance-free iglidur® polymers, the service life of iglidur® isense bearings can be both precalculated and monitored in real time. If a replacement is needed or if the bearing is facing overloads, the system is notified in time.
