Lubrication-free and wear-resistant iglidur rollers have a service life that is up to six times longer than that of solutions made of POM or PA

Three at one fell swoop: due to high demand, igus is launching new pulleys, skate wheels and roller adapters in series production, which were previously only available as customised products. Manufactured from high-performance plastics, the new components are an economical alternative to classic metal counterparts in numerous applications. They are lubrication-free, dirt-resistant, durable, maintenance-free, vibration-dampening, and ensure quiet operation.

igus has developed two new chemical-resistant and particularly durable xiros ball bearings especially for use in contact with chemicals. They are 65 times more wear-resistant than ball bearings made entirely of the plastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

Gears are at the heart of many mechanical systems. They drive machines, make precise movements in robots possible and are indispensable in gearboxes and vending machines. Customised and durable gears are increasingly in demand.

Material scientists have developed PTFE-free versions of the most popular iglidur plain bearing materials. igus is announcing a breakthrough: the material developers in Cologne have succeeded in producing the established polymer plain bearings from the iglidur G, iglidur X and iglidur H series.

The French company SCALLOG has developed an autonomous robot called "Boby" that can transport shelves weighing up to 600kg in logistics warehouses.

igus develops a two-component injection-moulded plain bearing for high mechanical loads

iglidur i230: first igus 3D printing material for polymer components that withstands temperatures of up to 110°C 3D-printed polymer components will be able to resist much higher temperatures in future - in the engine.

Expensive machine and vehicle breakdowns due to undetected faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearings. Their special feature is that the bearings, which are made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic, are equipped with miniature wireless sensors, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

Record-low costs and sustainability: our new slewing ring bearing

igus is adding a ready-to-install low-cost variant made from regranulated high-performance plastics to its iglidur PRT series

It is affordable, compact, lightweight and ready to install with a mouse click: igus has added a minimalist low-cost variant to the portfolio of its iglidur PRT series of slewing ring bearings. The PRT-05-15-PC not only reduces costs, but also protects the environment. The new slewing ring bearing consists of 97% regranulated high-performance plastics.
