The ecological benefits of plastic plain bearings
A study has found that no less than half of all machine lubricants currently used seep into soil and waters, or evaporate into the atmosphere
Manus is designed to promote awareness of the benefits of polymer bearings to a wider audience of potential users and to highlight new and original ways of implementing plastic bearings.
Design engineers using plastic bearings are urged to submit an application before the cut-off date.
The application must be in production or at least a working prototype built to prove it is practical.
Entries will be judged by Professor John Hetherington, head of engineering at Cranfield University, Andy Pye, managing editor of Engineeringtalk and Matthew Aldridge, bearings product director at igus UK.
Cash prizes of GBP2,500, GBP1,000 and GBP500 will be awarded at an awards evening on 21st September at Highgate House in Northamptonshire.
