Small linear axis suits large tasks
Small, light and flat – these are the properties of the low-profile, linear axis drylin SLN-27. When used in combination with the dryspin high-helix threads, the linear axis not only carries out simple handling tasks; by implementing a stepper or DC motor, it can also handle high-speed sensor adjustments.The drylin SLN-27 is based on the low profile linear guide system drylin N with a rail width of 27 mm. The materials and the design make d...
Smallest bend radius for extended range of servo cables
Offering possibilities for energy supply to drives, motors and industrial machines, igus has introduced the new range of CF29 servo cables. The range has been designed for users with demanding requirements such as very low ambient temperatures, particularly small installation spaces or extremely heavy duty applications.
E-chain system now available for rapid configuration and delivery
Offering a space-saving and cost-effective solution for applications requiring vertically suspended cable management, igus now offer standard ‘zig-zag’ energy chain modules. Suitable for stage technology and hydraulic aerial work platforms, this innovative solution was previously available as a custom order, but new standardised, modular designs enable faster delivery and lower cost.

Plastic bearings are essential for experimental race motorcycle
The world’s first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle was introduced back in 1999, the Yamaha YZF-R6 which produced over 100 horsepower in stock form.Since then, Yamaha has incorporated a number of upgrades to improve speed and engine performance. The R6 engine has also been used in the nationwide Formula Student race series, where university students design and build single seat racing cars that are then raced at the iconic Silverstone...
Custom 3D printed linear module
The igus drylin SLTI3 linear axis enables machine builders to 3D print carriage and end blocks from high-performance iglidur I3 tribo-SLS material. According to the company, this offers the highest degree of variability in linear axis design. Produced within 48 hours of order placement, these self-lubricating and maintenance-free lead screw units can be built cost-effectively and to customer requirements.
Assembled dress-packs feature cable protection for welding robots
igus now offers fully assembled dress-packs for rapid replacement of energy chain systems on welding robots. A custom designed, drop-in replacement, these complete solutions can be connected quickly and easily to the robot, thereby minimising production downtime.
Cables delivered as complete readychain systems
With the introduction of chainflex servo cable families developed specifically for machine tool applications, igus has expanded its chainflex range. Machine builders are offered the option of selecting the most cost-effective cable, guaranteed to work reliably based on the required profile of the bend radius, travel distance and speed.
Made for Offshore: key solutions at Subsea Expo 2017
This year’s Subsea Expo, running from 1st-3rd February at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (Aberdeen AECC), will see motion plastics company, igus on stand 182, presenting its specialised solutions for the subsea industry from bearings to energy chains and cables.
Compact rotation model safely guides energy, data and media
A compact rotation module (CRM) has been developed by igus, which revolves around its own axis, even in confined spaces.As with all rotary energy chain systems from igus, the CRM can be used to guide different types of media – power, signals, data, fibre optic, pneumatic or fluids – in parallel without interruption.
