igushas just announced a universal plain bearing material that helps prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges. Being electrically conductive, any electrostatic charge is safely discharged avoiding sparking, and like all other iglidurmaterials, the bearings are self-lubricating and require no maintenance.

A range of products and solutions to help companies involved in motion control applications equip and maintain systems, such as conveyors has been introduced by RS Components. Budgetary constraint is an increasingly significant factor and many companies do not always have the luxury of purchasing completely new state-of-the-art motion control systems.

igus has launched the B160, a recent black option of its iglidur tribo-tape. Where a standard bearing solution won’t suffice, the B160 has proved an excellent alternative across many automotive applications. The iglidur tribo-tape offers a low friction and noise dampening properties and will eliminate rattles and squeaks wherever there is a metal to metal or plastic contact; typical examples include leaf springs, steering columns, seating, ...

igus has launched a stronger, more robust version of its twisterband rotary motion cable management system – twisterband HD. Developed to give operational and functional reliability to rotating applications that require mixed services, for example, power, data, air or fibre optics, with high loads and small installation space, twisterband HD supports up to 20 turns around its own axis.

igus has developed its guidelok slimline system further with the introduction of the GLSL-P, guidelok slimline P. Made entirely of plastic, this vertical energy chain system is characterised by its low weight and ease of installation, allowing machine builders and system integrators to achieve faster speeds and higher accelerations than ever before.

When a team of students from the University of Hertfordshire was tasked to make this year’s UH Racing car much lighter than in previous years, at first, the assignment seemed daunting for the students. Fortunately, igus, one of the team’s sponsors, was more than happy to pitch in, explaining the features and benefits of using complex technical polymer and ultralight metal components in place of the more traditional steel ones.

Following significant investment igus now offers 16 different tribopolymer materials in standard DIN ISO 3547-1 dimensions up to diameters of 50 mm. This amounts to over 13,000 plain bearings, available for delivery from stock, within 24 hours.

Following significant investment, polymer bearings specialist igus now offers 16 different tribopolymer materials in standard DIN ISO 3547-1 dimensions up to diameters of 50mm. This amounts to over 13,000 plain bearings, available for delivery from stock within 24 hours.

MRI and CT scanners, hospital, and other medical furniture as well as physiotherapy and laboratory equipment are all becoming increasingly complex and compact. Hygiene and cleanliness are top priorities for these high performance applications and medical equipment manufacturers are looking to igus for sophisticated positioning systems.

Allowing for lateral offset at the moving end, the floating tow-arm (FTA) from moving energy specialist igus ensures smooth running of energy chains in a guide trough by floating from side-to-side to compensate for misalignment in the system. The igus FTA system is suitable for a variety of applications; in particular for ‘ship-to-shore’ container cranes where the system can accommodates for play in the trolley wheels and rails.
