Wear-resistant sliding movement in an extremely small space with iglidur tribo-polymer coating from igus12-12-2019

iglidur coating technology with igus tribo-plastics makes surfaces of metal components resistant to abrasion For lubrication-free sliding in a very small space, igus has now developed three new materials made of maintenance-free tribo-polymers as coating material for metal components such as metal sheets, valves or even shafts. This means that, for users who do not have enough space to install a plain bearing, a wear-resistant, compact and cost-effective solution is now available.

Dirt-resistant igus linear system displays wins in long jump05-12-2019

Maintenance-free drylin linear guide enables a laser to slide and ensures fast, visible top marks in the stadium In order to make the longest distance visible to the audience at the stadium during the long jump event, organisers rely on the laser projection of lines in the sand. One of them is Golden Fly Sports GmbH with its "PrimeLine System". The developers set the highest standards: All components must be robust and above all sand-resistant, but at the same time lightweight. Therefore, lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin linear guides from igus were chosen.

Clean, safe, detectable: New igus tribo polymers for food contact14-11-2019

The motion plastics specialist relies on optically and magnetically recognisable materials for plain and spherical bearings Media resistance, lubrication-free and corrosion-free: these are the requirements machine components in the food industry have to meet today. In order to be able to quickly identify broken pieces in the event of damage to a system, igus has now developed two new optically and magnetically detectable materials for its plain and spherical bearings: the iglidur FC180 and igumid FC. The materials comply with FDA and EU10/2011 regulations and are therefore ideal for use in the food industry.

Surfing on tarmac with wear-resistant plain bearings from igus07-11-2019

iglidur Z and iglidur J350 high-performance plastics ensure safe bearings in an innovative skateboard The Curfboard is a new type of sports equipment that combines a surfboard and a skateboard and in the process, has to withstand extreme loads. Especially high are the demands on its moving components, including the bearings. These must be wear-resistant, resilient, maintenance-free and reliable even under the toughest "Curf" conditions. Therefore, the developers at the curfboard GmbH rely on wear-resistant plain bearings made of iglidur Z and iglidur J350 high-performance polymers from igus.

Small, compact and cost-effective: new lubrication-free toothed belt axis from igus31-10-2019

Lightweight and compact toothed belt axis ensures Low Cost Automation in the tightest of spaces Fast automation in confined installation spaces: igus has now developed an extra-compact toothed belt axis based on its flat drylin N linear system. The new axis consists of a completely standard fitment of components and is thus easily assembled within a few minutes and cost-effective. Equipped with motor and control, the new system can carry loads of up to 20 Newton and a translation of 60 millimetres per revolution.

"How long will my printed gear last?" New igus online tool predicts lead time24-10-2019

Free online expert provides concrete statements on the service life of wear-resistant 3D-manufactured gears How long will my gear last? To answer this question, igus has now developed the gear service life calculator for its 3D-printed gears made of the laser sintering high-performance plastic iglidur I3. With the new online tool, the user receives a concrete statement in a few seconds about the service life of the wear-resistant part.

Hard on the outside, smart on the inside: igus develops world's first intelligent plain bearing10-10-2019

New smart plastics polymer bearing indicates its degree of wear in good time and prevents machine and equipment failure Plain bearings often have to withstand considerable adverse influences such as abrasive dust, high speeds or chemicals. To enable indication of the degree of wear of such plain bearings in good time, igus has now developed the world's first intelligent bearing with iglidur high-performance plastics. This warns of imminent failure in good time. Machine and equipment operators can plan maintenance, repairs and part replacement in advance.

iglidur Q2E: A lubrication-free world for heavy machines19-09-2019

In a test, the new high-load bearing withstands up to 130 MPa In construction machines, agricultural machines, utility vehicles and offshore installations, plain bearings often have to cope with extreme conditions such as heavy loads. igus has therefore further developed its lubrication-free two-component bearing iglidur Q2E The material iglidur Q2 ensures a tested high degree of wear-resistance, and a hard polymer shell protects the heavy-duty bearing.

No lubrication in spite of metal with maintenance-free igubal polymer spherical bearings17-09-2019

Lubrication-free igus spherical balls now available with cost-effective sheet metal housing Heavy dirt accumulation, dust and swarf are commonplace for pillow blocks and fixed flange bearings. Constant lubrication and maintenance is therefore necessary. With the injection-moulded igus spherical balls, customers can resort to a lubrication-free and maintenance-free solution for their metallic pillow blocks. igus has now developed new spherical balls made of the high-performance plastic iglidur J, specifically for cost-effective sheet metal housings. These can be mounted in seconds. The complete solution is available directly from stock.

Maintenance requirements identified in advance with the new smart plastics linear guide05-09-2019

Intelligent igus sensor keeps track of the wear of linear plain bearing liners, increasing the reliability Detecting the wear of liners in linear systems at an early stage was the goal of the engineers at igus, who have now developed a new, intelligent linear guide. A sensor in the bearing liners measures the individually determinable wear limit and sounds an alarm when it is reached. This allows maintenance to be planned in advance and avoid unexpected system failure.

A lot of movement in little space with new compact igus slewing ring bearings22-08-2019

Lubrication-free slewing ring bearings from the PRT-04 range save 60 percent weight and 50 percent space

Fast rotary movements in a small space. These are often the special requirements for slewing ring bearings in automation or stage technology as well as in control panels. For such compact applications, igus has now developed a new slewing ring bearing range for medium loads. The slewing rings are not only maintenance-free and wear-resistant, thanks to the use of high-performance polymers, they are also 50 percent smaller in installation height and 60 percent lighter, saving the user up to 20 percent of his costs.

New online tool for maintenance-free guide rollers from igus01-08-2019

xiros expert helps in the easy selection of lightweight and lubrication-free rollers mounted on ball bearings

Maintenance-free, hygienic and clean: these are the requirements of the food and packaging industry for its components. For this reason, designers of film and labelling systems rely on smooth-running guide rollers with lubrication-free plastic components from igus. To assist the customer in the quick selection of the right roller for their application, igus has now developed a new online expert for guide rollers.

Cleaning agent safely locked, thanks to igus plain bearing in child safety device11-07-2019

Innovative student projects such as "EMKindersicherung" is supported by igus as part of the "young engineers support" Detergents in the home pose a real danger to many toddlers. Therefore, a team of seven students of TU Darmstadt, supported by igus, has now developed a child safety lock for cleaning agent bottles. The device is simply screwed onto the bottle. Access is ensured via an app. An iglidur plain bearing from igus ensures the lubrication-free and reliable locking mechanism in the child safety lock. The idea also convinced the jury at the Cosima competition, a student competition for microsystems, where the team took second place.

No chance for mould! igus polymer plain bearings pass the test04-07-2019

Lubrication-free iglidur plain bearings made of high-performance plastics ensure clean air in aircraft and buildings For the building and vehicle technology as well as for the aircraft industry, mould is not only a great annoyance, but also a serious health hazard. To prevent this, it is not only important to use the right ventilation technology, but also to use mould-resistant components. Therefore, igus had its materials tested for mould growth. The result: all plain bearings are resistant to fungi and bacteria.
