igubal® coupling joints

Coupling joints made of high-performance plastics

Double joints and coupling joints made of metal are heavy, often expensive and require extensive maintenance. The more economical alternative: igubal® series double joints and coupling joints. They are made of polymers that bring about weight savings of up to 80% and cost savings of up to 40%. But not only that. The double joints and coupling joints made of plastic are easier to install and facilitate economic operations. They do not require any lubrication and are maintenance-free. The igubal® range of double joints and coupling joints is constantly growing. And thanks to a modular system with spherical balls made of various materials and housings of different shapes, you are sure to find your ideal solution. Upon request, igus® will also produce special components. Users of the double joints and coupling rods from igubal® include e.g. companies in the automotive industry, automation, agricultural engineering, plant engineering and vehicle technology.

Various combinations

Crimped igubal coupling joints are available in more than 99 versions. With individual centre distance as well as individual alignment of the bearing points, we offer complete flexibility for your application.

In our online shop you will find a wide selection of coupling joints. If you do not find a suitable product, we will develop a suitable solution for you!
