The linear carriage T20 of the drylin W series makes switching from ball guides to sliding linear guides even easier.

igus presents design study for automatic and compact cable retraction system

The new PFLITSCH blueglobe CLEAN Plus cable gland made of food-grade plastic has been awarded a REINER! 2021 prize.

EHEDG-compliant system design suitable for CIP and SIP affords maximum protection against microorganisms and corrosion.

Save installation space and weight with just one cable for power and data: it's easy with harnessed igus readycable hybrid cables available through Treotham Automation. New to the range are ready-to-connect cables suitable for SEW-EURODRIVE with MOVILINK DDI and Siemens SINAMICS S210 with OCC. In addition to PUR, the latter is also available with an outer jacket made of cost-effective PVC. Macros for the EPLAN Electric P8 software speed up cable planning by around 50%.

The new iglidur i6-BLUE laser sintering powder is extremely abrasion-resistant, lubrication-free and food-safe according to FDA and EU 10/2011 regulations.
igus, the motion plastics specialist, is launching a new laser sintering material for 3D printers: the powdered iglidur i6-BLUE is easy to detect thanks to its blue colouring, and also complies with FDA and EU 10/2011 regulations. The new material thus increases the safety of machines and systems in the food and beverage industry. iglidur i6-BLUE is in no way inferior to the proven iglidur i6 in terms of strength and sliding properties, and is particularly suitable for printing worm gears, toothed gears and snap-on connections in 3D.

Whether for carpenters, furniture makers, wood traders or other representatives of the woodworking industry: with the "Wood" version of its VacuMaster, Schmalz has designed a specialist for the lifting requirements of the woodworking industry.

Components for the automation industry are required to remain compact and small, but along with the size, the connectors have to be resistant to vibrations and maintain their seal to withstand rugged environments.

When Wittenstein developed the Galaxie, they subjected drive concepts to a fundamental reassessment. The result: a brand new type of backlash-free gear unit. The innovative drive system has not only proved itself to be “superior on principle” in numerous industrial applications, frequently making the impossible possible – it has also received scientific acclaim as an independent gearbox generation.

Whether mountain bikes for outdoor use, record-breaking light racing bikes or ultra-robust e-cargo bikes: Treotham presents new igus components made of high-performance plastic as an alternative to metal solutions for the bikes of the future – including light and lubricant-free polymer plain bearings for mountain bikes, wear-resistant gears for e-bike motors and robust rod ends for e-cargo bikes.
