manus® award 2025

We received more than 480 exciting, unique entries from 36 countries, from corrosion-free plain bearings and drylin linear guides for an exoskeleton with a high-pressure cleaner to a wheelchair with maintenance-free plain bearings that enable users to roll while standing up.

The panel of judges, consisting of industry and economy experts and representatives from the specialist press, was once more spoilt for choice. The four winners were selected in a multi-stage voting process at the beginning of March. This year, a green manus award will again be presented for a sustainable project.

What are we looking for?

That is why, as part of the 12th manus award, we are especially interested in finding out how the use of these bearings affects your company.

• What technical problems were you able to solve by using plastic bearings?
• How did polymer bearings improve the sustainability of your application?
• What effects will the change have on costs?
