igus

igus has developed two new chemical-resistant and particularly durable xiros ball bearings especially for use in contact with chemicals. They are 65 times more wear-resistant than ball bearings made entirely of the plastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

Design engineers can considerably increase the efficiency of autonomous logistics robots with linear modules from igus. The RoboCup World Championship in Brazil in 2025 will prove this as robots from all over the world will handle products in a simulated factory.

Rushing across the water on a motorised surfboard: the Jetsurf combines the thrill of jet-skiing with the feel of a motorbike. The engineers at Czech manufacturer MSR Engines rely on igus plain bearings made of high-performance plastic to ensure that the fun in salt water is not spoilt by technical failure.

igus develops lubrication-free hybrid roller bearing with retraction system for precise adjustment tasks, e.g.in train steps

Many design engineers are familiar with the problem: they want a particularly smooth-running guide for pull-out mechanisms that can withstand high loads without wearing out quickly.

Easy to install and almost infinitely extendable: drylin EGW offers new design freedom on long travels igus is launching the drylin Endless Gear linear module (EGW), a modular, lubrication-free linear guide with rack and pinion drive.

The efficient use of loading space is becoming increasingly important in view of the growing volume of lorry traffic on German roads. igus has therefore developed the new readychain eco-rack. The transport and assembly rack for pre-fitted energy chains consists of strong multiplex panels made of birch wood.

Customised automation doesn't have to be expensive.

3D printing, CNC production or injection moulding? When design engineers are looking for the most suitable manufacturing process for a customised component, they often lose

If a conveyor belt in the woodworking industry breaks down due to a defective flange mounted bearing, every second costs money. To reduce assembly work by up to 80% in such an emergency,

Gears are at the heart of many mechanical systems. They drive machines, make precise movements in robots possible and are indispensable in gearboxes and vending machines. Customised and durable gears are increasingly in demand.
