Metallic ball bearings are predominantly used in most applications in classic mechanical engineering. They are number 1 in terms of global sales and are suitable for a variety of different mechanical engineering applications. However, you always reach a limit if there are additional requirements for the bearing within the application, i.e. additional load capacity or […]
As with all igus® products, our aim is to improve technology, reduce costs and make life easier. If we can combine the two then surely that is a win-win situation? “Smart” plastics or “intelligent plastics” are not a new form of technology for igus. However, combining this “intelligence” with the low-cost 3D printing technologies has enabled us to integrate […]
Curved rail seems like a rather strange phenomenon but actually, the requirement to be able to have a curvature in applications is more common than you think. igus® drylin® linear rails are immensely popular. None more so than the drylin® W range. So, based on the popularity of this already flexible linear collection, it made sense to try and see […]
No matter whether you call it an 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” […]
