Ready-to-fit igus linear axis with leadscrew drive accelerates design processes Whether in automated workpiece handling, palletising systems in logistics or in adjustable assembly devices, designers who need robust linear drives for automated adjustment tasks often waste valuable engineering time integrating motors and controls. To resolve this, igus has developed the drylin SLX-8060 – a ready-to-fit […]
Southampton University students complete innovative satellite docking simulator A group of dedicated engineering students at Southampton University are set to showcase their innovative master’s project at the Southampton design show this June. Student Dominic Soltau and his team, supervised by researchers Dr Alex Wittig and Dr Sergio Araujo-Estrada, have created a Satellite Docking and Orbital […]
Made with PTFE-free iglidur JGPF to ensure the low-friction and quiet operation of this drylin NT-60-4 telescopic rail. As PFAS plastics face an uncertain future, more manufacturing companies are looking for product solutions that are PFAS-free. To offer customers a reliable and simple solution for telescopic slides, igus has developed a version of the drylin […]
igus presents lubrication-free drylin linear and drive technology – designed according to EHEDG guidelines. There is an increasing pressure for drinks companies to manufacture more hygienically. Consumer demands for product safety are growing, and global standards from authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are becoming stricter, meaning the demands on machine components […]
Greaves 3D Engineering builds collapsible simulator with 45 igus components such as maintenance-free drylin linear and drive technology UK company Greaves 3D Engineering has developed a professional racing car simulator called “The Ultimate Drivers Rig”, which can be quickly folded up and stored in a road case. This makes transport to racetracks, trade shows and […]
Entry-level drylin Econ series for simple adjustment and positioning tasks reduces costs by around 80% Linear systems used for simple adjustment and positioning tasks, such as adjustable retail displays, now have a greener, low-cost solution. Injection-moulded from regranulated, high-performance plastic, igus’s new polymer slides in the drylin Econ series are both cost effective and sustainable. […]
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 […]
A new design study by igus demonstrates how smooth linear plain bearings made of recycled material work when fitted on wooden shafts. Drylin Econ-G bearing J4 proves to be a winner with wood. Is wood and plastic a good combination in engineering? Motion plastics specialist igus has investigated this question in a new design study, […]
A Conmag Engineering solution can transform a terrace into a pool while saving EU30,000 with the help of corrosion-free linear technology from igus Conmag Engineering has designed a “mobile pelvic floor” that transforms a luxury swimming pool into a walk-on terrace using linear technology engineering from igus that works reliably and with little maintenance under […]
Food engineering company One Two Beer GmbH develops automatic beer dispensing system with igus drylin linear technology for foam-free pouring. To prevent long queues at busy bars, One Two Beer GmbH has developed an automatic beer dispensing system. The centre piece is a mobile dispensing head that inserts into the bottom of cups and enables […]
