Total Chip Protection for Machine Tools
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Metal chips can cause abrasion and wear in long travel, gliding cable carrier applications. To combat this, igus® has developed a horizontal guiding system called “Guidelok”, which is designed to keep the upper and lower cable carrier runs apart. The new solution is ideal for applications in the machine tool industry […]
Reduce friction in machine guard doors
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The word ‘hybrid’ is used in engineering to describe a system where two technologies are combined together. igus® has now achieved this with a completely new type of cost-effective hybrid linear bearing that both rolls and slides. The new hybrid bearing, DryLin® WJRM, was developed with the goal of reducing driving […]
Anti-backlash Leadscrew System
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus® has unveiled a new addition to its line of DryLin® SLW leadscrew tables. DryLin SLW Pre-Loaded uses anti-backlash nuts to reduce axial clearance and is also fitted with DryLin W ‘turn-to-fit’ linear bearings, which offer adjustable radial clearance. DryLin SLW Pre-Loaded is available off-the-shelf and is less expensive when compared […]
Mini Polymer Bearing
The iglubal spherical bearing line includes a mini plain bearing. The self-aligning bearing is light and compact, requires no lubrication, is simple to install, and adapts to all angular misalignments. The housing and spherical ball liner absorb vibrations differently than steel: the rotational, swiveling and oscillating movements of the self supporting shaft take place within the spherical cap, which has a dampening effect. Its […]
This Cable Carrier Goes Only Where You Want it to Go
Because of its smooth, tubular design, “Triflex R”—‘R’ for ‘round,’ multi-axis cable carrier protects moving cables and hoses on 6 axis robots in demanding industrial environments, such as in automotive production plants or welding applications. The cable management system can move multi-dimensionally through all axes and can twist up to 380º per yard, making movement […]
Plastic Bearings Take High Loads
When both shock and impact loads are present, such as in oscillating applications, the bearing can make all the difference. The iglide Q is a maintenance-free alternative to bronze, metal-backed and custom injection-molded bearings. Even at maximum loads of 14,500 lb/psi, it offers a low coefficient of friction compared with other iglide plain bearings. As […]
DryLin linear bearings exceed expectations of packaging equipment manufacturer
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Igus® Inc. announced that Matrix Packaging Machinery has chosen it’s DryLin® R linear bearings on its chief product line, the G Series packaging machines that includes the Matrix Proteus, Mercury and Ares. Matrix manufacturers vertical, form, fill and seal (v/f/f/s) packaging equipment, which handles a wide range of products from green […]
New Cable Carrier for Cranes
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus® has now launched a completely new generation of roller cable carriers. New “System P4” was unveiled in the States at the IMTS show in September and is available on request. The new cable carrier has achieved speeds up to 23 feet per second over distances of 400 feet in igus’ […]
A wide-array of iglide plastic bearings for multiple applications
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – For 40 years igus® Inc. has been developing plastic bearing materials based on engineered polymer technology and offers an extensive line of plain bearings that are both maintenance- and lubrication-free. Iglide® plastic bearings are available in sleeve, flange and thrust-washer configurations. With 6,000 sizes and styles from stock, iglide is a […]
