When Global Laser was asked to provide a mount for its laser alignment system on a sawmill, limited working height meant that the standard static mount would not cast a long enough beam length. The proposed solution involved using a DryLin rail guidance system from linear technology expert igus.

igus has reached a new milestone in the energy chains sector with the introduction of the fully-enclosed RX energy tubes. On display in the UK for the first time during this year’s MACH Show, which runs from 7th to 11th June at the NEC, the igus RX range features smooth, domed outer contours for maximum protection against debris and chips accumulation, as well as dust, dirt, oil, high humidity levels and temperature extremes. The covered pin/bo...

In order to guide power, data and other media safely through rotary motions in small spaces, complicated and expensive solutions are usually required. With the compact igus® TwisterBand, rotations can now be guided and managed in very confined spaces, in a cost-effective way and with very little wear.

The problem of hanging energy chains operating at high speeds and with lateral accelerations is that they can swing around and lead to damage or failure, this is particularly common within storage and retrieval units. These risks are removed, with the new igus® Guidelok Slimline system.

When motorcycle enthusiast and entrepreneur Eric Debenham formed his company Mono-Trail to develop his own single-wheel trailer, his main aim was to create a design that looked as sleek as his bike. He also wanted the trailer to have full-suspension but without the penalty of additional weight, so he contacted plastic bearing expert igus UK for advice.

DryLin® WJRM from linear technology expert igus® UK is a hybrid linear bearing that both rolls and slides. Based around the igus DryLin® W linear guide family, the DryLin® WJRM fits within this system without increasing design width, and is available ex-stock from igus UK in both 10 and 20mm varieties.

With igus there is a new way to tackle the problems previously solved by conventional ball bearings. The igus slewing ring uses two self-lubricating, low friction polymer sliding elements in place of the ball bearings – a cost-effective, low noise and highly wear resistant solution that’s maintenance-free.

The DryLin® W linear guide, from linear technology expert igus® UK, constitutes a cost-efficient preassembled system. By combining extremely high flexibility in design with simple installation, the DryLin® W offers best-in-class friction and wear resistance. Without the need for lubricants, the system is insensitive to dirt thereby increasing reliability while reducing maintenance costs.

Over the years, engineers at linear slide specialist igus® have encountered incidents where traditional linear slides have not held up to regular use at high speeds; this is because they wear, cause damage by sediment build-up and have a high coefficient of friction, which is why igus developed the DryLin® range of linear bearings.

For bearings applications, involving high cycle rates, speeds and accelerations or running in extreme environments, engineers require complete and detailed information about how the product will perform under these challenging conditions.
