Application examples

From the shipbuilding and offshore sector

Shipyard

Eight gantry cranes connected in series travel a total length of 180 m with plastic energy chains.

Shipyard

Boat cranes

In contrast to metal and bronze bearings, the igus® bearings do not corrode due to their high-performance polymer structure and are for this reason the ideal choice for underwater application.

Boat cranes

Mooring system for sail and motor yachts

High load capacity and durable

Mooring system for sail and motor yachts

Marine lift for water vehicles for leisure purposes

Corrosion-proof in sea water

Marine lift for water vehicles for leisure purposes

Underwater boring machine

Series CF27.D servo cables in underwater applications.

Underwater boring machine

Ship loader

Since the ship loader started operations in 2000, no troubles, either mechanical or in the cables, have occurred in the energy chain area.

3D flow distributor

Ball bearing assemblies are very precarious due to the lubricant particularly under water. Stainless steel guidances cannot be considered due to the high costs. Plastic is used also for hygienic reasons.

3D flow distributor

Outboard motor

The "Mercruiser Six" is designed for high speed racing boats.

Outboard motor

Rust-free roller chain

The maintenance-free polymer bearings are used in rust-proof roller chains, which are employed to drive main and auxiliary equipment.

Rust-free roller chain

Ship fittings

Now freedom from corrosion is an important argument for the application of iglidur® G plain bearings in ship fittings.

* Guaranteed for 36 months or 10 million double strokes (up to 5 million double strokes for cables in the chainflex® M line). Whichever comes first. The number of double strokes depends on the type of installation and cable quality. This is described in the current catalogue, in the data sheets and in the service life calculator at www.igus.de/chainflexlife.
