With an ‘anti-contamination’ design, iglidur high-performance plastic and stainless steel, a new igus linear guide ensures exceptionally high hygienic standards. Food processing machinery requires daily cleaning with chemicals. Even the smallest blind spot can collect moisture and can lead to contamination in the machine. More and more machine builders are therefore designing parts with a […]
iglidur Q3E plain bearings, now manufactured by injection moulding, ensure lubrication-free maximum load capacity performance, made using efficient high-volume production An important industry first for the construction and agricultural machinery industries: For the first time igus has found a way to manufacture heavy-duty bearings made from two components of high-performance plastic, using the cost-effective injection […]
Simply switching to a polymer bearing from a stainless-steel bearing has saved a lead acid battery recycler, Fry’s Metals thousands in maintenance costs, and far more in preventing lost production time Recycling lead batteries in high volume is a tough, corrosive working environment to work in. As such, one of South Africa’s leading lead recycling […]
Thanks to ultra-delicate teeth, new wear-resistant micro gears are suitable for particularly precise applications Whether in micro-drives, microscopes or precision engineering, engineers are building ever more compact products. Motion plastics specialist igus now produces micro gears with a module – the unit of gear tooth size – of up to 0.2. Thanks to high-performance plastics, […]
New igus energy chain can be installed in seconds and is the second igus e-chain series to be made of 100% recycled material. The simplest products are often both the most cost-effective, and the best technically. igus has now developed snapchain 2.0, a sustainable energy chain especially for simple, flat cable packages made of 100% […]
