For applications where an extremely quiet operation of the energy chain, high dynamics, or particularly low wear is required, the motion plastics specialist igus has developed the E6.1 series of energy chains. These chains are now available in new dimensions with larger inner heights up to 62 millim…

For clean and equally safe energy management, the motion plastics specialist igus has developed the first e-chain according to "Hygienic Design Guidelines". Due to its open design, the chain is very easy to clean – with rounded edges and a screwless construction that prevents dead spaces and the res…

In the food industry, cleanrooms, or medical technology – standards ensure the highest safety in sensitive areas. igus has now introduced iglidur RW370, a special iglidur polymer material that meets EN 45545 as the new European fire protection standard for rail vehicles.

In transportation technology…

The motion plastics specialist igus has expanded its range of wear-resistant tribo-filaments for 3D printing with the chemically resistant iglidur C210, now offering a total of six materials for the FDM process. Prototypes and small series for even more applications – for example, in contact with ag…

With the white Tribo-Tape made from iglidur W160, igus expands its range of variable sliding films with an antibacterial and UV-stable material. This allows tribologically stressed surfaces in hygiene-sensitive applications, such as in medical and laboratory technology, to be quickly and easily line…

With iglidur HSD350, the motion plastics specialist now offers an affordable all-rounder for hot steam sterilization during autoclaving. Especially in the food and medical industries, the new sliding bearing material demonstrates its advantages over metallic bearings clearly.

Autoclaving is one of th…

With the e-skin, igus has developed a modular cable conduit that is not only particularly easy to open but also, in contrast to comparable products, offers a self-supporting function for energy guidance in the smallest installation space. Now, the motion plastics specialist has received the strict c…

In the food and packaging industry, the highest safety standards apply. To protect consumers, food must be free from any kind of contamination. As part of its ball and joint bearing series, igus offers products made from maintenance-free and equally detectable plastics. This guarantees that no lubri…

As the level of automation in industry increases, the number and speed of machine movements also rise, while the degree of networking within the factory continues to grow. With the world's largest Ethernet cable program for the e-chain, including a unique 36-month warranty, even the most demanding a…

Especially for medical and laboratory technology, igus has developed the new sliding bearing material iglidur AB. Antibacterial sliding bearings made from this material help reduce microbial contamination. At the same time, sliding bearings made from iglidur AB – like all iglidur materials – are lub…
