After consultation with igus experts, engineers from D-BOX selected iglidur plastic plain bearings and igubal pillow block bearings as replacements. iglidur W300 plastic plain bearings are used in the seat’s actuator because they are easy to install, have a long lifespan and can be purchased directly from stock.

D-BOX uses igubal pillow block bearings to enable its seats to pivot. igubal pillow blocks are ideal because they compensate for misalignment and, like iglidur W300, are easy to install and available from stock.
