“Integration of Composite Bearings in Industrial Automation”
A rising trend in the composite bearings market is their growing integration into industrial automation systems, including robotic arms, conveyors, and actuators, due to their low friction, high wear resistance, and maintenance-free operation
Composite bearings enhance operational uptime by reducing the need for lubrication and resisting corrosion in harsh industrial environments
This is especially valuable in sectors such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and packaging, where cleanliness and precision are critical
- For instance, in January 2024, igus GmbH introduced a new series of tribologically optimized composite bearings tailored for automated machinery and cleanroom environments
As factories increasingly embrace automation, the demand for durable and self-lubricating bearing materials is expected to rise significantly across global manufacturing hubs
