Tech up and cost down – dengan plastik berkinerja tinggi igus

We set high standards for ourselves and our products: Improve what moves! Bearing technology, energy supply systems, Low Cost Automation, 3D printing, and smart plastics all have one thing in common: Their purpose is to improve technology and reduce costs. Ideally, we can achieve both: Tech up, cost down. To this end, we offer high-performance motion plastics that give you the following advantages, among others:

• Long service life
• No additional lubrication necessary
• Up to 70% less weight than metal products
• Resistant to dirt, chemicals, corrosion, heat and cold

Our materials and bearing and linear technology designs are diverse: From plain, spherical, and ball bearings to slewing rings to gears to linear guides and linear axes, all of which can, for instance, be food grade, high load, or resistant to high temperature, chemicals, and UV. The core of our developments is friction optimisation. All material mixtures are optimised with filler and solid lubricants for low coefficient of friction, no external lubrication necessary. No lubrication intervals or maintenance interruptions. Our technology runs trouble-free for as long as conditions allow. And since our materials are tailored to many conditions, that can be a very long time compared to other materials.

The best bearing technology cannot show its added value if the machine cannot run because it cannot get any energy. Data, power, and media cables are neuralgic points of a machine where the cause of a failure can often be found. Our energy chains, movement-optimised chainflex cables, and ready-to-connect readycables have been developed to prevent failures and allow long service life. They are available as individual components or complete ready-to-install energy supply systems.
