About IGUS
Founded in 1964, IGUS began as an ambitious startup aiming to redefine bearing technology. Over the past five decades, its dedication to research and development has transformed it into an industry leader. The company has consistently emphasized the role of high-performance polymers in creating bearings that not only reduce maintenance requirements but also elevate operational longevity and efficiency. Expanding its footprint across 35 countries, IGUS has invested significantly in its infrastructure, allowing for enhanced manufacturing capacities and refined research capabilities.
Lately, IGUS has been on a roll, leveling up its game with both growth and fresh innovations. Riding the digital wave, they’ve tapped into the latest Industry 4.0 standards, updating their manufacturing and keeping a closer eye on their products. This means they can spot issues before they even pop up, making sure their gear lasts even longer. On top of that, they’re going green – rolling out eco-friendly materials and keeping things efficient in production. They’ve dropped some new product lines and given some updates to the classics. So, in the grand scheme of things, IGUS isn’t just nailing it in quality and innovation, but they’re also leading the charge for a greener, more future-focused world of polymer bearings.
IGUS PRODUCTS
- IGUS: Advanced Polymer Engineering Solutions.
With its dedication to innovation and solving real-world engineering challenges, IGUS provides a comprehensive range of products that cater to a wide spectrum of industries.
- Energy Chain Systems (E-Chains)
IGUS’s e-chains are polymer-based cable carriers designed to safely guide and protect cables and hoses in moving applications. Their modular design allows for easy assembly, and they come in a myriad of sizes, materials, and configurations. Not only do they enhance operational efficiency by preventing tangling and wear but they also reduce maintenance costs.
- Chainflex® Flexible Cables
Developed to work optimally with their e-chains, Chainflex® cables are designed for dynamic applications. They withstand millions of cycles without degradation, thanks to their robust design and specialized materials. The range covers control, data, bus, measurement, power, and robotic cables, among others.
- Drylin® Linear Systems
Eliminating the need for external lubrication, Drylin® linear systems employ tribologically-optimized polymer sliders instead of traditional ball bearings. These systems are dirt-resistant, maintenance-free, and promise smooth operations under various conditions.
- Iglide® Plain Bearings
One of the staples of IGUS technology, Iglide® plain bearings combine the strengths of high-performance plastics to cater to diverse application needs. These self-lubricating bearings offer impressive wear resistance, are maintenance-free, and come in a broad range of materials tailored for different environments and operational demands.
- Robolink® Modular Robotics
IGUS’s Robolink® is a testament to their forward-looking approach. These are modular robotic components made of lubrication-free and maintenance-free polymers, allowing for the creation of lightweight and cost-effective robotic arms and systems.
- Xiros® Ball Bearings
Unlike conventional ball bearings that require external lubrication, xiros® ball bearings operate smoothly without the need for grease or oil. Made from high-performance polymers, they are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and ideal for high-speed applications.
- PRT Slewing Bearings
Polymer slewing ring bearings by IGUS are maintenance-free, self-lubricating, and corrosion-resistant. They’re well-suited for pivoting movements in various industrial machines and applications.
- Technological Advancements
Beyond its products, IGUS is known for its commitment to R&D. Their test laboratories work rigorously to innovate and validate the performance of their products under real-world conditions. This dedication ensures that every IGUS solution is not just theoretical but field-tested for robustness and reliability. Furthermore, with tools like the “life calculator”, customers can predict the lifespan of IGUS components in their specific applications, enhancing trust and reliability.
