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.
utdoors often have to withstand seasonal temperature fluctuations. Due to the extreme temperatures in recent years, we therefore also have to consider this issue when choosing the right cable. Therefore, today’s topic is cables in extreme heat and the effects of high ambient temperatures on energy chain cables.
Ball bearings consist of an inner and outer ring, a cage and rolling elements. The cage is used to separate the rolling elements from each other in the form of balls. If the balls were not separated, they would run against each other and overheat. With high rotational speeds and friction of the balls, destructive effects are the result. But how do the balls get into the ball bearing now?
igus has many different linear guides in its product range. For example, drylin W offers a large modular system. drylin N is the first choice for extremely low-profile installation heights. drylin T is identical in construction to the usual recirculating ball bearing guides. A representative of the shaft guides is drylin R. Since some machine […]
