e-chain
igus’s new, drive-chain has high dynamics, integral load support, long service life and can save up to six tons of weight for port cranes. Commercial port operations use rail-bound Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC) to process high volumes of shipping containers. These, and other applications that require long e-chain travels, will benefit from a new drive-chain […]
igus®, Greaves 3D Engineering and the University of Northampton came together to introduce the new racing simulator. This has been developed by Greaves 3D Engineering and features approx 45 igus® components from; bearings, linear rails, drives to various types of e-chains®. These racing simulators are being used as part of the esports BSc degree course […]
A super-realistic racing simulator has been developed by Greaves 3D Engineering that features 45 igus bearings, linear rails, drives and e-chains. The University of Northampton is using the simulator for deployment on its esports BSc degree course.
