Metallic plain bearings with relatively thick walls (conforming to DIN 1850, for instance) are used in many heavy-duty applications in agricultural engineering and construction machinery…
Current trends such as zero-emission vehicles or CO2-neutral production demonstrate the growing importance of sustainability in the automotive industry….
Many plant operators know the problem: when installing metal ball bearings, lubrication is essential. This procedure has to be repeated at regular maintenance intervals and that not only swallows up money, but also a lot of time. As a ball bearing alternative, xiros is particularly suitable…
Injection moulding tools are usually milled or spark-eroded, require quite some manufacturing time and are therefore expensive. Here, 3D printing opens up new possibilities.
The new 2020 chainflex catalogue is ready!
“We replace the cables on the machine every six weeks. Well, that’s normal!” We hear sentences like these time and again in our industry. Very few users are aware that this condition is not normal. Choosing the right cable makes the difference. In this article I would like to explain why flexible cables are not […]
maximum current carrying capacity values listed for chainflex cables, refer not only to the electrical limit values but also to the special mechanical load in the energy chain. These values therefore offer a higher degree of safety than usual standard values.
At igus, we rely on our partner HARTING for cable harnessing. There were different reasons for this association. In addition to the quality of the products, this also includes delivery reliability and ease of assembly.
