Conserving resources and extending the product life cycle are the objectives of the new igus cradle-chain E2.1.CG, which saves 28% CO2 versus current e-chain production. From cradle to cradle: The goal of the circular economy is to return consumables to the biological or technical cycle in order to conserve valuable resources and raw materials, retain […]
The combination of great design and clever, novel materials produces a resilient and quiet tribo-optimized ball bearing for high speed and low noise. Following intense research and development, igus has launched a novel two-component (2K) ball bearing. The lubrication- and maintenance-free xiros bearing combines several properties making it wear-resistant and dimensionally stable and quiet, even […]
Bearing points on construction and agricultural machinery can be free of lubrication and maintenance with iglidur M210 and M260 materials Save time and costs on bearings for machinery medium loads with iglidur M210 and M260. These materials enable heavy machinery like construction equipment to switch from thick-walled metal bearings to plastic bearings with no structural […]
Lubrication-free drylin linear guides ensure smooth operation of the K900 cleaning robot from KEMARO AG The K900 industrial robot cleans floors wherever it needs to, autonomously and without programming, even in places where it is potentially dangerous or even impossible for people to clean. Lubrication-free linear guides, shafts, plain and fixed flange bearings from igus all […]
The solar industry is growing rapidly and with the help of lubrication-free products, they are changing the way things are produced and how applications operate. In this week’s video of the week, we can see how both igubal® and energy chain parts are used all over the world to help sustainable applications. To view the […]
Harmonised lead screws and lubrication-free lead screw nuts in trapezoidal threads extend service life by 30%. Motion plastics specialist igus has refined the classic trapezoidal thread, achieving a 30% service life extension – a huge increase for a well-established mechanical part. Thanks to a special geometric interaction between the lead screw nut, which requires no […]
When you think of car seat, you probably don’t think of the components designed and used within the mechanism of that seat! Why would you? In this weeks’ video of the week, the seat is stripped back to reveal the multiple igus® products found within the often-complicated mechanisms. You might be surprised by what you […]
