Plastic plain bearings are used in all three applications and all were chosen as winning applications at the last manus award, which motion plastics specialist igus promotes every two years.
The jury’s biggest challenge at the last edition of the manus award two years ago was selecting three winners out of 541 entries from 35 countries. In addition to the three winners – an exoskeleton to facilitate assembly work, a manipulator arm that can be used underwater up to a depth of 500 metres, and an ejection mechanism for a research object in space – there were many other exciting applications with plastic plain bearings; from 3D-printers and sports equipment to art sculptures.
