New Brochure Highlights Interesting Applications
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - June 1, 2009 - igus® has published a new brochure about how its plastic plain bearings, spherical bearings and linear bearings and slides are used in real-world applications. "igus Bearing Applications" highlights application examples from a wide range of industries to inform design engineers about the advantages of using plastic bearings.

The stories show how plastic bearings can save money, reduce downtime and replace other bearing types such as metal and bronze.
