The coupling joint, also referred to as double joint, describes a strut with connection possibilities on both sides. Here, ball and socket joints, screw threads or sleeves can be inserted, which connect the coupling joint with the corresponding vehicle components. Usually, coupling joints are made of steel or aluminium. But for years, polymer coupling joints […]
In this fast changing time, some technologies may be popularized soon after they are launched. For example, the heat insulation technology is only available for high-end cars a few years ago, but now it was used by almost all cars. When designing storage spaces, quality demand from design and manufacturing engineers increasingly grow. As a […]
Lubrication-free and maintenance-free tribo polymer bearings from igus ensure high flexibility and long life in a new piece of furniture Working and living in confined spaces is often not so easy. Therefore, the interior design student Valeria Vysozki developed a very practical solution with her piece of furniture “Frida”. Relax on the softly upholstered sofa; […]
In Heze, Shandong Province, a group of young people who keep dreaming and working hard founded a RV modification company called “Zhongrui Gongshe”. They are eager to learn about emerging technologies and products and after learning about our self-lubricating products, they immediately started to use our products.

Figure 1. The spoiler system of the truck A well-designed spoiler system for commercial vehicles can not only increase driving safety, but also improve fuel economy and reduce freight costs. Air-guiding devices are usually installed on the top and sides of the cab of high-roof trucks or traction vehicles. If no spoiler is installed in […]
During the past 20 years, FAW Jiefang and igus have maintained close communication and cooperation. In recent years, Jiefang has mastered the core technology of gearbox through independent R&D. Thanks to its energetic R&D team and open communication environment, we are fortunate to have our iglidur high-performance plastic bearings loaded in batches in its gearbox system. Iglidur’s products are present in many popular models, including the natural gas tractor, J6L, Dragon VH, J7 mentioned in the beginning of the article. Especially, in the gearbox control system, iglidur shows its unique advantages: noise-reducing, durable, self-lubricating and maintenance-free. So, besides the control part, any other applications to recommend?
