How do you decide on the best shaft material?
Ensuring the relationship between the polymer bearing and the shaft material is essential. igus® have various shaft materials which create perfect relationships with their polymer bearings.

Linear Bearing: symptoms versus solutions
Occasionally things don’t run as smoothly as we hope but with drylin® rail we have solutions for all issues that arise. Here we identify a few examples of the issues that occur and how to fix them.
Intelligent products from igus®. Making maintenance predictable.
Smart Plastics by igus® takes the surprises that arise when there is a fault. This technology sends signals to inform of wear or errors before it gets critical.
Sliding & gliding: polymers on rails
drylin® is where igus® offers linear solutions using polymer elements for sliding instead of the traditional rolling elements. This is used with either aluminium extrusions or stainless steel shafts.
The good thing about drylin® is that it’s not limited by speed – because we have no moving parts – these are gliding, sliding parts – nothing has to catch up with itself.
When being blue is a positive thing.
Being blue is a sign of safety in the food industry. igus® have a range of products that are designed to be suitable and enforce safety in such environments.
Why do we need cleanroom products for hygienic environments?
igus® products can protect your cables in a clean room environment, despite the harsh chemical wash downs. We manufacture products that are easy to assemble without compromising their performance and that keeps contamination out of the equation. Our hygienic range of energy chains are FDA approved so also suitable for the food industry.
How can you control friction in an application?
With every application, you either need to decrease friction or control it. Igus® Drylin W range offers solutions for both scenarios.
Bearings for agricultural machinery, are they robust enough?
Relationships between polymer materials and heavy duty machinery is flourishing. igus® is supporting this vital relationship within the Agricultural industry, an essential lifeline for the UK to continue supporting our self-sufficiency. See how igus® products are used.
