New energy chain series E4.1 available ex-stock
About two and a half years ago, energy chain expert igus presented their first prototype from its new energy chain E4.1 series. Now, the complete supply range of this new generation of energy chains is available for delivery ex-stock.
What keeps India's taxis moving?
The polymer bearing company igus illustrates just how robust iglidur plastic plain bearings are using a real Bollywood film as an example. In Bangalore and many other Indian cities motorised taxi rickshaws are fitted with the company's lubricant-free polymer bearings. These are used as main hub bearings on the anti-dive device as well as at other bearing points.
Maintenance-free E4.350 for offshore platforms
igus has developed the largest ever plastic energy chain in the world for offshore applications on offshore oil drilling platforms. The new E4.350 is wear-resistant, maintenance-free and resistant to seawater and mineral oil. Its material is naturally corrosion-free and the high-performance plastics from which it is made of are lighter and less expensive than comparable stainless steel energy chains.
Maintenance-free and lightweight
igus have developed a lubricant-free toothed belt drive, specifically for the low-cost sector for the fast positioning of small loads of up to 15kg. The new linear unit DryLin ZLW-0630 Basic is compact, very small and a lightweight design – a fast alternative to leadscrew drives or pneumatic cylinders. The 500 mm stroke version of the maintenance- and corrosion-free lightweight model weighs only 800 g. The stroke length is variable up to a maxi...
Universal bus fibre optic cable from igus
igus has developed a new optical fibre cable, called Chainflex CFLG.2LB, which is suitable for all bus systems. This dual-core optical fibre bus cable is designed specifically for energy chain applications, where extremely small bending radii and high cycle life are expected without loss of data.
igubal high tensile rod end bearings from igus
Plastic bearing expert igus has extended the range of its dimensional series E igubal rod end bearings with the introduction of the EBRM-16 V. By inserting a steel reinforcement into its igubal rod end bearing, igus has increased the tensile load capability by up to 50% when compared to its pure plastic versions.
Make the most of this summer’s scheduled shutdown with igus. Register today for your free energy chain and flexible cable health check
Energy chain expert igus UK is inviting maintenance engineers to book a free energy chain and flexible cable annual check-up before or during factory shutdowns scheduled in July and August.
Connecting up motors world-wide
Flex-resistant cable expert igus introduces the Chainflex CF5 control cables and the CF6 shielded cable as a new standard with 600V rating according to UL. After a short transition period the bundled cables, which are now suitable for world-wide machine export, will replace the igus CF5/CF6 predecessors that are currently rated to 300V.
speedigus – Rapid prototyping just got faster
Polymer specialist igus has developed a new tooling method for injection moulding which can get custom designed parts delivered in less than 24hrs. As there are no minimum order quantities, speedigus is suitable for one offs, prototyping, low volumes and bridge tooling.
Twisting through 3000° igus TwisterBand TB30 energy chain for circular movements in confined spaces
igus has developed an innovative compact energy chain system that is able to turn lines eight times round its own axis. Staying close to the axis, the igus TwisterBand TB30 is a cost-effective system that can guide energy, data and other media safely through 3,000 degrees at high rotating speeds with little wear.
