The vector award for unique energy chain applications is entering its eighth round. Applications are open now, with deadline for entries 11 February 2022. Rotating 7,000 degrees, travelling at speeds of 10 m/s and moving in multiple dimensions: they are energy chains made from high-performance plastics. Every two years, an expert panel awards the best […]
In this week’s video of the week, Head of the iglidur® gears business unit Steffan Shchack introduces injection moulded polymer gears from igus® From stock, we have 3 designs in a variety of wear resistant materials, suitable for applications with high temperatures, electrically conductive and high endurance. From one gear to a million, we can […]
Chainflex cables and three-dimensional e-chain ensure reliable operation even with the narrowest bending radii. Whether creating unique store concepts, futuristic concrete stairs and modern building facades, Dutch architectural design company Aectual produces very special architectural projects with the help of its robot-driven XXL 3D printer. For reliable “lights-out” robot operation, the designers opted for highly […]
The new generation of the strain wave gear is low cost, self-lubricating and polymer! With high efficiency, no lubrication and its lightweight design, the dry running strain wave gear is a welcomed addition to the drygear® family. In this week’s video of the week, you can see how easy it to assemble and how the […]
Students use drylin linear units to develop a 3D printer for the cost-effective production of structural components in outer space. When booms for solar panels or satellite antennas are transported into space in a rocket, they are exposed to very high loads. To simplify space transportation and speed up the production of these components, a […]
