igus presents lubrication-free and corrosion-resistant polymer bearings for STS, RTG and RMG cranes. Handling containers around the clock, often in extreme conditions, is the everyday life of STS, RMG and RTG cranes in ports worldwide. Failure of the wheel and axle units, the bogies, caused by premature wear, puts an enormous strain on crane operators […]
“ReBeLs on Wheels” make driverless transport systems affordable through modern plastic technology. Mobile robotics systems are being used in more and more industries, in e-commerce warehouses as well as modern restaurants. Conventional models on the market start at around 25,000 euros, while solutions with an integrated robot arm start at around 70,000 euros. However, widespread […]
The switch to igutex® polymer bearings for long standing customer and agricultural equipment manufacturer Sumo UK Ltd, has allowed them to produce longer lasting, durable machinery and save on the cost of standard metal bearings that require lubrication. Finding bearings that are cost-effective, tough enough to take on the most heavy-duty loads, and that minimise […]
The first batch of the famous all-plastic igus bicycle is in production, while igus builds a high-volume production line. The day has finally come. After months of development, the igus:bike, a bicycle made of 92% plastic with a high proportion of recycled material, is in production. The first 100 bikes are being produced while igus […]
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.

Ensuring engineering is accessible and enjoyable, igus® have recently introduced the term “enjoyneering”. This encapsulates the fun element of learning and experiencing all about engineering in the metaverse, the iguverse. In this week’s “video of the month” we take you deep into the iguverse, allowing a sneak preview of the various rooms we offer, the […]
There are so many applications within the material handling industry that need reliable, effective, and durable products, so it is hardly surprising that there are so many igus® products used in these applications. In this week’s “video of the week”, we see a small selection of igus® parts in action in material handling, from drylin® […]
Can plastic bearings be successful in tough environments such as HGV’s? Absolutely. In this week’s video of the week, the iglidur® bearings that are regularly used within various points on lorries are highlighted, just going to show that small plastic bearings really can perform in huge industrial vehicles.
