Polymer slewing rings from bearing expert igus are ready-to-fit solutions that require no lubrication or maintenance, have been designed to replace ball-bearing type rotary tables or systems and can be used in a wide variety of applications, usually pivoting. The tough, yet light weight iglidur PRT slewing ring bearings are corrosion-free, and the sliding parts are made of the tribo-optimised special material iglidur J.

The double joint igubal bearings from plastic bearing expert igus offer customers a new type of self aligning bearing solution. They come in spherical ball as well as ball and socket varieties, both still retaining the same characteristics of the standard single-ended version.

Plastic bearing speciallist igus has added two new developments to its slewing ring bearing range – a toothed outer ring option, as well as a new low cost slewing ring.

igus polymer Energy Chains are designed to guide and protect the cables and hoses. These include the new igus RX tube, which is a special product designed for the machine tool industry. It is a smooth, enclosed Energy Chain that prevents swarf getting into the chain and damaging the cables and, with the igus “HT” material, can give protection from hot chips up to +850°C.

At this year’s Sensors + Systems show at FIVE in Farnborough, igus UK will be launching the latest additions to its chainflex® cables that are developed specifically for use in dynamic applications.

Long energy chain movements are now made safe and secure with igus PPDS floating towing arms, with condition monitoring built-in - Energy chains with particularly long travels, such as those found in large crane applications, can sometimes suffer lateral misalignment due to wear on trolley rails. igus PPDS floating towing arms can eliminate this misalignment safely and cost effectively.

The DryLin W range from igus offers a complete modular linear guide system which is low in cost, provides flexibility and is offered in both single and double rail configurations. One great advantage of this linear slide system is that the assembly is simple: the housing can be attached just by the turn of a screw.

Outperforms standard plastic materials under radial loads of 76 MPa

The SLW range from linear expert igus UK comprises a standard drylin W slide which is adjustable via a leadscrew for precise movements. The latest addition to this range is the SLW Stop-and-Go.

Polymer researcher and bearings specialist igus UK has developed a plain bearing material that is based on 54 percent sustainable and natural raw materials. The basic polymer of the new iglidur N54 plain bearing is mainly made of castor oil, rather than finite crude oil. The company’s mechanically and tribologically optimised biopolymer is suitable for universal use in the low-load range.
