A child’s perspective on all that is plastic

Sometimes we need to readjust our notions and preconceptions. As adults, we tend to see the negative before we see the positive. Could seeing things through a child’s eye’s make us realise that it is not as bad as we first think…..

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.

Tribo-Coating: Exploring avenues where 0.5mm is too big…

When you have an issue with wear and are limited to space, why don’t you coat it. Tribo-coating allows metal on metal contact without the wear. It acts as a protective barrier but only adds a minimal thickness to the donor part.

Putting our 3D printed parts to the test

At igus®, we recognise the importance of wear and friction in industry. It comes as no surprise, then, that our core beliefs are based on wear-resistant polymers that naturally minimise wear and increase the service life of parts. Thanks to their tribological properties, our iglidur® parts are ideal for myriad applications and industries.

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.

Samples aplenty!

At igus®, samples are a part of our way of life and for our product development and industry growth. We find that samples allow us to demonstrate the latest technology and versatile product capabilities with an abundance of product types, properties and functions.

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.
