igus is driven by customer needs; one example is the 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday opening hours. For igus, every order placed is vitally important – that’s why the time in which customers receive their goods is one of the main targets of igus customer service. The plastics specialist aims for delivery within 24 hours from the 80,000 parts in stock.

At this year’s Interplas exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, igus UK will be launching the latest additions to its maintenance free range of plain, spherical and linear bearings, as well as energy chains and chainflex® cables.

Since its founding twenty years ago in Northampton, igus UK has earned a solid reputation for excellent all-round service and grown from strength to strength. The recipe for success lies in the combination of its ever increasing innovative product range, consisting of iglidur® polymer bearings, plastic e-chains® and flexible chainflex® cables, and the fact that igus has a genuine understanding of the engineering sector and what its customers n...

Machine tool applications require a number of different services including electric, oil and pneumatics in order to run. These services run through various cables or hoses that require protection and guidance to avoid damage and subsequent machine failure. This is straightforward when the cables run in a linear motion. Some machines, however, have rotary motions that render typical linear cable carrying systems insufficient

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.

One of the most common problems that can occur when cables used in energy chain applications are stressed beyond their limits is corkscrewing. What is it? Why does it happen? How can you avoid?

igus UK will demonstrate and showcase its latest additions to its industry-leading energy chains and chainflex continuous-flex cables, as well as its maintenance-free range of plain, spherical and linear bearings at this year’s MACH Exhibition – the UK’s premier manufacturing technologies event.

Aerial Camera Systems has found products from igus, an expert in cable carrier systems and plastic bearings, to be the ideal choice for demanding applications in a wide range of tracking camera systems. ACS has been using igus products for more than 20 years, during which time it has found them to offer exceptional reliability even in the toughest of operating environments.

Bus system problems can occur during twisting applications in energy chains, particularly with shielded data cables, because the shields can get damaged and open up. This is not the case with fibre optic cables: These do not have a mechanically vulnerable shield braid, and they are insensitive to EMC whilst transferring high-speed bus signals up to a length of 400 m. Following comprehensive tests, the energy chain and flexible cable specialist ig...

igus now provides harnessed drive and measuring systems and sensor cables for Fanuc drives in three different mechanical load qualities and in any length. igus already supplies system cables for Siemens, Indramat and Lenze drives.
