High demands on vehicle and components
KG Automobile's goal was to build a vehicle that is all-wheel drive, has room for two people and weighs less than 300kg. It should be all-weather, off-road, low maintenance and has road permit. A whole range of requirements that made the design phase costly. All components used also had to meet these requirements.
The iglidur plain bearings and igubal spherical bearings from igus were able to enter the race without any problems under these operating conditions. They convince with their mechanical resistance, a very good price and maintenance-free use without additional lubricants. The igubal KSTM pillow block bearings are used for the steering column, igubal KCLM ball heads for the steering track rods and iglidur plain bearings for the brake pedal guide.
