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 […]

igus’ T3 Cable Carrier
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus®’ ‘T3’ cable carrier for applications involving very high speeds and accelerations was one product to catch the attention of visitors to IMTS. The lightweight cable carrier runs extremely smoothly with minimal vibrations and virtually no noise: 33 dB(A) with 26.5 dB(A) of background noise. The polymer side bands are injection-molded […]
igus® Inc Adds Two New Mini Polymer Bearings
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus® Inc, offers a highly resilient, self-aligning bearing with a wall thickness of just 3 mm. The mini plain bearing is part of igus’ line of igubal® spherical bearings. The housing and spherical ball liner absorb vibrations differently than steel: the rotational, swiveling and oscillating movements of the self-supporting shaft take […]
igus’ PRT slewing ring bearings
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus’® unique slewing ring bearings use two self-lubricating, low friction polymer sliding elements in place of ball bearings. The cost effective, low noise “PRT” modules are highly wear resistant, easy to install, and completely maintenance-free. The slewing rings have a very high load capacity. The PRT slewing rings have aluminum housings […]
