New i.Sense TR.B sensor enables condition monitoring for triflex R energy chains in three-dimensional applications Robots have long been an integral part of many areas of industrial manufacturing – and their range of tasks continues to grow in the wake of digitalisation. Whether for welding, painting, soldering or palletising, industrial robots work dynamically. A flexible […]
Several industrial applications require bearings with self-aligning features and this is generally achieved by using spherical bearings. A spherical plain bearing is a bearing that permits angular movement around a central point. igubal is a range of polymer spherical bearings from igus GmbH. Like all the other products from igus, igubal bearings offer many advantages over metal spherical bearings. Here are […]
Igus Low cost Automation (LCA) has a full fledged customer testing area. This helps customer to simulate his application and ensure that it works with igus solution before placing the order. This helps a lot of customers also with faster turnaround of their automation projects, which leads to faster Return on Investment (ROI). With igus […]
No matter whether you call it energy chain, e-chain or a drag chain, it also does not matter whether cables have Flexible Dynamic (FD), highly flexible (HF) or “chain” in the name. It is not the name that matters, but rather the function and durability. So, which is best? A “hard” or a “soft” cable […]

When a new product is being developed for food, packaging, or beverage machine test phase, receiving prototype samples of a plain bearing or other machined components as quickly as possible is very important. iglidur polymer bar stock allows such components to be manufactured easily … with no minimum order quantity. It is available as plates, […]
Knife edge rollers are designed to reduce the gaps and ensure safe transfer of small parts from one conveyor belt to another. Especially in the food & packaging industry, during transfer of small food products like cookies, cakes, biscuits, pasta products, they may slide into the gap between the two conveyor belts if there is a […]
