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 […]
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 […]
In modern crane technology Single Girder EOT Cranes are extensively used in warehouses, workshops, pre-cast manufacturing, sheet metal industry, automotive industries etc. Subsequently we also find applications in explosive, combustible, and corrosive environments as well. While majority of the single girder cranes fall into low duty cycles as the lifting capacities are also on the […]
With the changing times, the Indian Pharma industry is witnessing dynamic changes & are adopting advanced technologies for their machines , manufacturing processes , packaging techniques and other related aspects , so as to achieve greater output & higher productivity without any compromise on the strict hygiene standards & to maintain the safety of the […]
Plain bearings or commonly known as “bush”, bush bearing”, “bushing”, slide bearing” etc. are a much older technology when compared with ball bearings. Humans have been using plain bearings since year 3000BC. These are the simplest form of bearings without any rolling elements. Some of the most desired features of a plain bearings are – […]
Almost all mounting brackets are available in two variants. The first pivoting, the second is locking. At this point, many design engineers wonder when they should use the pivoting and when the locking version. Pivoting Type Locking Type Pivoting mounting brackets are standard for gliding and horizontally unsupported applications: But why is that? The pivoting […]
