igubal plastic double joint links from
bearing specialist igus UK are a costeffective,
easy-to-assemble, fit-andforget
solution that are reported to
have many advantages over standard
steel versions.
igus says steel linkages usually consist of many separate components and are time consuming to assemble.
The igus plastic double joint bearing is manufactured as just one part and can be assembled in virtually no time.
The bearing is also up to 80% lighter than steel alternatives. This is especially valuable to the automotive and bicycle industry, enabling users to save costs associated with reduced energy required to operate lightweight bearings.
