Heavy loads are no problem for the new igutex TX3 fibre wound material

igus launches a new lubrication-free material, the endurance runner which is ideal for heavy-duty applications.

In applications with loads of more than 80Mpa, plain bearings made of thermoplastic materials can be pushing their limits.

Clean, safe, lubrication-free: igus presents the hygienic design linear guide

A self-draining design, iglidur high-performance plastic and stainless steel ensure an exceptionally hygienic linear guide

Cleaning with chemicals is a daily occurrence for machines in the food processing industry. Even the smallest blind spot can collect moisture and can lead to contamination within the machine. More and more operators are therefore designing parts with an emphasis on Hygienic Design. igus is a member of the EHEDG and has developed the first linear guide system, based on the Hygienic Design guidelines. Using FDA-compliant materials such as the high-performance polymer iglidur A160, high-alloy stainless steel and a washable interior of the carriage ensures the hygienic design is adhered to.
