The new material iglidur A181 makes the igubal food contact joint system three-times more wear resistant and has several food safety features. To make machines and systems for the food industry even safer, igus has launched the high-performance plastic iglidur A181, a new standard for a spherical ball material for the igubal food contact (FC) […]
This is quite a common question and in this week’s video of the week, the question is answered. The xiros® range of polymer ball bearings are low friction, cost-effective and dirt resistant. Not only that, but they are also quiet which is crucial in Automation. So, in answer to the question, ball bearings are perfect […]
Get your automation system commissioned quickly – simple PLC alternatives from £80 are available directly from stock For many simple automated operations, like adjusting the width of a conveyor guiding edge or the height of a monitor, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are often oversized and not necessary. Alternatives from igus are the step direction motor […]
Conserving resources and extending the product life cycle are the objectives of the new igus cradle-chain E2.1.CG, which saves 28% CO2 versus current e-chain production. From cradle to cradle: The goal of the circular economy is to return consumables to the biological or technical cycle in order to conserve valuable resources and raw materials, retain […]
Universally, we use a variety of motors to power a multitude of machines and applications. These motors all have the same thing in common, they all need to have the ability to adapt to different parameters and to cope with particular functions. Our large range of low-cost automation motors covers a variety of applications, comes […]
The combination of great design and clever, novel materials produces a resilient and quiet tribo-optimized ball bearing for high speed and low noise. Following intense research and development, igus has launched a novel two-component (2K) ball bearing. The lubrication- and maintenance-free xiros bearing combines several properties making it wear-resistant and dimensionally stable and quiet, even […]
