igus

To mark the company's 60th anniversary, the lubrication-free and low-maintenance igus:bike will spend 12 months travelling through 16 countries to raise awareness of the "circular economy of plastics"

The starting signal has been given, the igus:bike® is on a world tour.

Mobile "socket" from igus makes supplying container ships with shore power safe, fast and flexible

igus develops the world's first mobile shore power connection system and receives the EHM Award for the Ports and Harbor Innovation of the Year

Lubrication-free polymer bearings from igus® increase efficiency at the Chimay Trappist beer brewery in Belgium

The renowned Belgian brewery Chimay, known for its traditional Trappist beer, relies on maintenance-free spherical bearings from igus in its bottling plant.

Every year, several million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. Around 1,600 rivers wash most of it into the sea. Plastic waste destroys marine ecosystems and contributes to the loss of biodiversity.

Bikes instead of cars: for the mobility transition to work, cities need more parking facilities without encroaching too much impact on the cityscape. For this purpose, the Japanese manufacturer Giken has built a garage called Eco Cycle,

Light and flexible rotating energy supply ensures gentle cable guidance to the gripper

Pick & place robots are playing an increasingly important role in automated processes, for example on assembly lines. With its EXPT, the automation specialist Festo offers a highly precise and dynamic solution for this.

Things don't have to be expensive. This is true not only of groceries, but also of energy chains. The simplest products often not only cost the least, but also represent the best technology. igus has now developed the snapchain 2.0 especially for low-stress and flat cable packages.

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.

igus supports medical-technology project at Trier University of Applied Sciences with lubrication-free miniature guide systems

Produce orthoses that splint injured fingers in hospital in record time using a 3D printer: students at Trier University of Applied Sciences are developing a compact platform that measures fingers.

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.
