Plain bearings often have to withstand considerable adverse influences such as abrasive dust, high speeds or chemicals. To enable indication of the degree of wear of such plain bearings in good time, igus has now developed the world's first intelligent bearing with iglidur high-performance plastics.

The aim of the precision irrigation carriage from Rathmakers Gartenbautechnik is to use water resources sensibly whilst protecting the groundwater at the same time. With the new automatic irrigation system, the water reaches exactly where it should: directly to the plants.

Whether in food-vending machines, laboratory equipment or electric doors: whenever space is at a premium, designers often dispense with guides for individual moving cables - and thus risk cable damage and unnecessary maintenance costs.

Wherever people operate doors or other moving elements by hand on a daily basis, minimal operating forces, quiet operation and freedom from maintenance are crucial - especially in light of the new EU Accessibility Act and the increasing automation of everyday life.

The last 20 meters in automation have long been a bottleneck: Sensors and actuators had to be wired individually – the more safety signals and diagnostic data needed to be transmitted, the more complex the wiring became. EUCHNER solves this problem with IO-Link Safety, and instead of many wires

The C6 cleanroom energy chain with new e-spin guide system allows for abrasion-resistant travels over distances of up to 30 metres and has been awarded ISO Class 1 by Fraunhofer IPA

Whether in microelectronics, semiconductor or battery production - it is essential

PMA FPH & FPHB Heavy‑Duty Protective Hoses

When cables are pushed to their limits, ordinary protection isn’t enough. PMA FPH and FPHB heavy‑duty protective hoses are engineered for environments where performance, reliability, and durability are non‑negotiable.

Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, these solutions help extend cable life, reduce maintenance, and keep critical systems operating reliably.

Around the world, the number of dry cleanrooms is increasing. The main focus is on automating the systems to ensure fast and cost-effective production. In addition to its certified energy chains suitable for dry cleanrooms, igus has now also had its halogen-free chainflex TPE cables successfully certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation

Compact safety switches, multifunctional enabling switches, light curtains, rope pull switches, emergency stop devices, and more help users reduce installation and downtime as well as lower costs. At the same time,
