A new igus white paper compares its tribological iglidur 3D-printing materials directly with conventional POM, reporting lower wear, more stable friction and up to ten times longer service life in gear testing for customised, low-volume and replacement components.

igus South Africa is expanding its readycable hybrid range, combining power and data transmission in a single line to simplify automation cabling. The latest additions include harnessed cables for Siemens Sinamics S210 drives and SEW-EURODRIVE motors with MOVILINK

igus continues to expand its drylin range of lubrication-free polymer linear guides, including PFAS-free and EHEDG-certified variants for food safety applications. The tribo-optimised iglidur polymer technology eliminates maintenance while offering corrosion resistance and load capacity up to 600 kg.

Advanced polymer manufacturer igus has developed a new cleanroom energy chain with an innovative guide system that allows for abrasion-resistant travel over distances of up to 30 metres.

igus continues its quest to replace traditional lubricated linear guides with its drylin polymer technology, which improves machine reliability. The absence of lubrication means it contributes to safer, cleaner operation with no risk of contamination.

igus has developed the C6 cleanroom energy chain with an e-spin guide system that allows abrasion-resistant cable travel over distances of up to 30 metres without generating the microparticles that standard energy chains produce.

Engineered polymers manufacturer, igus has developed a unique tribological dry coating for high-throughput packaging and manufacturing plants to reduce friction and wear.

South African Bulk Terminals has installed a 140 m opposing energy chain system from igus to improve the management of cables used in the operation of two of its massive ship loaders.

Polymer component specialist manufacturer, igus has developed a range of lubrication-free long-life knife edge rollers designed to improve the transfer of products between conveyor belts in high-speed production environments.
