Electrostatically dissipative iglidur AX500 tribo-polymer ensures maintenance-free applications with food contact iglidur AX500 gives igus a new, wear-resistant material for the food industry that is electrically dissipative and can be used at high temperatures. In bearing points in the food and packaging industries, temperatures and speeds are frequently high. Ensuring that mechanisms function reliably requires […]
Black guide roller with smooth-running polymer ball bearings saves up to 48 per cent weight and 42 per cent mass inertia Easy and lubrication-free guidance of labels with xiros polymer ball bearing in the new black guide roller. They divert films or labels: guide rollers with ball bearings. Mainly used, so far, in clear anodised […]
Convincing display by new xirodur material for ball transfer units in static conductivity test The lubrication-free tribo-polymer xirodur F182 makes xiros ball transfer units are not only very durable, but also electrically dissipative. This gives the operator of ball tables the security that goods in transit or the employees are not bothered or endangered by […]
At igus we understand the challenges of maintaining equipment in hazardous environments. That’s why we are introducing our innovative solutions that are lubrication-free and chemical-resistant for Ventilated Laboratory workspaces like Fume Hoods, Biosafety cabinets, etc… Where all can you use igus Product on Fume hoods Fume hoods normally have a vertical door with counterweight, and the […]
igus® was founded on October 15, 1964, in a garage in Cologne-Mülheim. Since then, we’ve been creating innovative, lubrication-free plastics that keep the world moving. Our products are used in cars, cranes, furniture, machines, robots, and even bicycles. One example is the igus®, a unique urban bike made from recycled plastic. It showcases many of […]
Our cables are versatile and can be used in many different applications. They work well indoors and outdoors, in hot and cold places, in cleanrooms, and in oily air. But how do these cables perform in the radioactive environments? What is Radiation? Radiation is the movement of particles or waves. They are subdivided into three […]
Anyone who’s worked with metallic insert bearings is likely aware of the frequent — and frankly tedious — relubrication efforts required for such components. Without the proper lubrication, these bearings are almost certain to wear prematurely and fail, leading to costly downtime and lost production. This may seem like an unavoidable reality, however there’s a […]
Hey there! Today, I want to share a story about a recent customer visit that got me thinking about bus cables for long travels. The customer is into making systems for handling foam materials. Imagine moving around material handling between different processing steps. Now, these often involve long travels and that’s where our e-chains and […]
Plain bearings stand out from ball or rolling bearings due to their less complicated design. But is this simplicity always true? The reality is, that various types of plain bearings have distinct constructions and workings. In this blog, we’ll explore the structure of the most common plain bearings. Overview of plain bearings and how they […]
