The hybrid energy chain YEis a combination of both lightweight plastic and tough steel.

A solar powered car using igus plain bearings has raced its way across more than 1,800 miles of Australian desert - helping Team Sonnenwagen win sixth place in the World Solar Challenge 2020.The team, made up of a group of students in Germany, approached igus, requesting lightweight, wear-resistant, and lubrication-free iglidur plain bearing technology made of durable tribo-polymers. This helped the team to comfortably finish in sixth place, havi...

Lubrication-free tribo-polymers ensure the reliable operation of vertical farming systems. Motion plastics from igus are playing a major role in the increasingly popular sector of vertical farming.igus, which has its UK headquarters in Northampton, is working closely with global companies specialising in vertical farming - the practice of growing plants indoors in stacked layers - by providing the lubrication-free tribo-polymers needed for this t...

The e-loop energy supply series which increases safety and reduces procurement and installation time has been expanded to suit static applications, including shore power supplies. Shore power offers the provision of electrical power to a ship at berth so that its main and auxiliary engines can be shut down.

A new cleanroom laboratory, built by applied research organisation, Franhofer IPA, has opened - helpingigusramp up its motion plastics development.igus, whose UK headquarters are in Northampton, are motion plastic experts and a global manufacturer ofenergy chainsystems and polymerplain bearings.

A new black coloured guide roller with smooth-running polymer ball bearings has been designed and manufactured - following a customer request and extensive testing by the team at igus. The product, which uses black anodised aluminium tubes, is the latest in the xiros film guide roller range, largely used in the fields of packaging and food technology. igus, whose UK headquarters are in Northampton, are motion plastic experts and a global manufact...

A frequently asked question is whether additional cables can be attached toigusRobolinkDP. The answer is yes!

The linear motor robot from FIBRO LÄPPLE TECHNOLOGY (FLT) claims to be different from many other solutions, because it is twice as fast at half the weight. In order for the linear robot to be able to get production up and running quickly and reliably, a compact, durable and silent energy supply was required.

There is a misconception that the benefits of industrial robots are reserved for few manufacturing giants. However, according to the Robotics Industries Association (RIA), enterprises with less than 100 employees and less than ten robots represent a growing segment of the robotics market. Here, Neil Ballinger, Head of EMEA at EU Automation, explains what to consider when implementing industrial robotics in small and mid-sized manufacturing busine...

When it comes to selecting wear resistant tribo-polymers, the user is spoilt for choice at igus. To find the rightiglidur plain bearing material for the appropriate application, igus has now developed a new compact analogue configurator for 39 standard iglidur materials. Using overlay cards, the user can determine the suitable material. Alternatively, the iglidur online expert system helps in the selection and calculation of the service life.
