SELANGOR, Malaysia - June 23, 2026 - PRLog -- igus continues to set new standards in industrial design, securing three prestigious iF Design Awards 2026 for its focus on user-friendly, application-oriented solutions. Awarded products include the iglidur PRT slewing ring bearing, igubal split flange mounted bearings, and the AI-driven igusGO app—each designed to reduce downtime, simplify operations, and lower costs.

The iglidur PRT-04-TS-360 slewing ring bearing impressed judges with its integrated 360° angle stop, adjustable by hand and enabling controlled rotations up to 720°. Compared to its predecessor, it is 60% lighter, 50% more compact, and 20% more cost-effective. Made from high-performance plastic, it operates without lubrication or maintenance, significantly cutting operating expenses.

The igubal split flange mounted bearings offer a breakthrough in accessibility and installation efficiency. Designed for hard-to-reach applications, their split design allows direct installation on the shaft without dismantling surrounding components—saving up to 80% assembly time. With identical hole spacing, they are a drop-in replacement for standard units, while delivering 80% weight reduction and maintenance-free performance.

Completing the trio is the igusGO app, an AI-powered tool that transforms product selection. Users simply capture an image of their application, and the app identifies suitable igus components from over 1,000 use cases. This intuitive, immersive experience accelerates design decisions, enhances performance, and reduces costs. Available free on web, Android, and iOS, it bridges real-world environments with digital intelligence.

These award-winning innovations reinforce igus' commitment to lubrication-free technology, cost efficiency, and ease of use, helping industries worldwide improve performance while minimizing maintenance.
