Her lightweight bike weighing just only 7.3 kg, the German mountain biker Sabine Spitz won the Olympic gold in Beijing by a solid lead of 41 seconds. Also on the winners' podium were the lightweight iglidur polymer plain bearings from igus which were fitted into the precision Magura spring fork. The German company Magura is a leading manufacturer of brakes and suspension technology for bikes, amongst other things.

igus has several new developments in power and data supply for robotic equipment on show at the Automatica in Munich. The company has developed a new universal module called Triflex RS, specifically for robotic applications in very cramped conditions. The multi-axis robotic energy chain Triflex RS is always guided parallel and close to the robot arm, preventing a loop forming or cables becoming strained at the robot head. The low-profile module c...

Energy chain specialist igus has introduced six new product lines to its Triflex R system of third-generation 6-axis robot energy chains. The multi-axial energy supply system, developed specifically for sophisticated 6-axis robotic applications in harsh industrial environments, now comprises well over 200 components.

Energy and data supply expert igus has now added a bus cable for the CC-Link industrial serial field bus system into its range. The data transmission properties of the Chainflex CFBUS.035 cable correspond to the CC-Link specification and have been tested and approved by the global coordinating office, CC-Links Partners Association (CLPA) in Japan. This now means igus can supply dynamically flexible bus cables for all standard field bus system, in...

Integrating strong, secure strain relief into energy chain mounting brackets is essential to ensuring good cable performance in moving applications. Limited space, high pull forces, vibration, temperature extremes, oil and coolant lubricants are all challenges that need to be tackled by any strain relief system. Unfortunately, conventional strain-relief products do not always cope well with such conditions.

The new generation of TwisterChain® circular chain from energy chain specialist igus® significantly improves smoothness, stability and strength over earlier versions. It has a modular construction in width, height and radius and therefore provides very flexible use in applications requiring rotating movements up to 400° or more, as well as where robust solutions are required.

xiros® plastic ball bearings from polymer specialist igus® are single row grooved ball bearings. Simple in design they consist of just four components – the inner ring, outer ring, the cage and the balls – all made of the standard igus materials, making them lubricant and maintenance free, long lasting and with a low coefficient of friction.

Speedigus can get custom designed parts delivered within 24hrs; it is a new tooling method for injection moulding developed by polymer specialist igus. There are no minimum order quantities, so speedigus is ideal for ‘one offs’, prototyping, low volumes and bridge tooling.

igus® E-Chain® systems and Chainflex® flexible cables are in operation in more than 5,000 port equipment applications worldwide. So, when you’re on the docks, take a closer look at the Ship to Shore Cranes, Bulkhandling Cranes, RTGs, RMGs, Goliath Cranes, Spreaders or even Reachstackers.

Energy Chain expert igus has extended its energy chain and flexible cables test lab extensively, such that it now covers more than 1000 square metres. Here a wide range of tests is carried out on standard products, as well as special custom parts, using more than 70 dedicated test stations.
