high-performance plastics
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, […]
Bevel gears made of high-performance plastics iguform S270 and igutek P360 are a cost-effective and maintenance-free alternative to metallic gears Bevel gears transfer drive forces at a 90° angle. igus has now developed bevel gears made of two abrasion-resistant and durable high-performance plastics, especially suitable for simple applications. The gears are lightweight and cost-effective, and […]
Electrostatically dissipating iglidur AX500 tribopolymer ensures maintenance-free, food industry applications In the food and packaging industry, sorting and packing zones are subject to constant movement of goods and temperature changes. For these storage mechanisms to perform flawlessly, long-lasting plain bearing solutions are required that can withstand friction and heat long-term. Another challenge is the creation of […]
