High comfort in the passenger compartment

Profile

  • What was required?: low-maintenance and robust bearings in the passenger compartment
  • Requirements: clean application, adherence to DIN 45545
  • Material: drylin W linear guide, plain bearings made of iglidur G and RW370, PRT slewing ring bearings  
  • Industry: railway technology - interior
  • Success for the customer: bearings are maintenance-free and no longer require additional lubrication 

iglidur polymer plain bearings and drylin linear guides ensure clean adjustment, low coefficient of friction and quiet movement without the need for any additional lubrication. This is due to the incorporated dry lubricants, which are contained within the used materials. That is why igus plain bearings and linear technology are used where cleanliness and high comfort are a must: in the passenger compartment.   
Train seat with different maintenance-free igus components
For example, adjustable armrests, folding tables and seats can be implemented using plain bearings or thrust washers made of iglidur G. This iglidur material is particularly wear-resistant and available from stock in a wide range of shapes and sizes. If the components have to be in line with DIN 45545, iglidur RW370 can be used.  drylin linear guides are used to make folding tables extendable. Dirt and liquids do not make a difference to both iglidur plain bearings and drylin linear technology. Should anything be spilled or become dirty, the bearings of both products can be easily cleaned.  
 
igus high-performance polymers ensure a comfortable sitting experience even in first class. With iglidur PRT slewing ring bearings, the seats can be turned in the direction of travel. Manually or even electrically. iglidur J sliding elements also make PRT slewing ring bearings maintenance-free and remove the need for additional lubrication. The slewing ring bearings are available in various installation sizes. In order to make the travel experience perfect, drylin W linear technology ensures headrests and footrests that can be easily and very quietly adjusted, as well as backrests and armrests. Depending on your requirements, linear guides can be used with or without a locking function. With all adjustment possibilities it is important to use high-strength and flexible cables for sockets and USB connections, which are safely guided. For this purpose, chainflex cables, which were developed for moving applications, and the matching energy supply systems by igus are suitable.
