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 […]
In this video you can see the comparison between the assembly time of an igus® plastic cobot clamp and the metal version. There simply is no comparison when it comes to the speed, however the metal ones can sometimes be the better option when there is a faster motion. Luckily igus® offers both options! So, […]
igus develops P4HD roller e-chain with wear-resistant materials, and smart monitoring. Next generation cranes need higher power supplies. Energy chains – the protective chains that transport power and control cables in linear motion – must meet these requirements for longer travels, higher accelerations and operational uncertainties, as well as high reliability. The new igus heavy-duty […]
Lubrication-free and maintenance-free high-load material iglidur TX2 demonstrates 3.5-fold improved wear performance in tests. Especially forhigh-load applications in the construction, machinery, or agricultural industries, igus can now offer the new Tribo (tribologically optimized) material iglidur TX2, which works without lubrication. Even smaller excavating machines still need about 50 litres of lubricant per year with metal […]
