    Plastics for longer life® - Increase the service lives of your machines with plastics

    Igus® is the largest producer of reinforced plastic energy chains and injection moulded polymer bearings. 

    From the smallest 'micro' chain to the largest series 800 chain, igus® Energy Chain Systems® are capable of long and short travel distances at high speeds in all axes.

    The range of polymer bearings includes iglidur® plain bearings, igubal® spherical bearings and DryLin® linear bearings.

    Also available, igus® Chainflex® cables are high quality and highly flexible cables from small signal cables to large power cables, high-speed data cables and glass fibre optical cables.

    Nationwide help is available from local engineers. 

     


    Service life up - Costs down 

    Lower costs and raise service life by eliminating lubrication and lowering maintenance works, everything delivered from stock immediately - that is the core idea and objective behind all igus® products, systems and services. 
    igus® plastics with their tested and proven properties in durability, friction and stability are the main focus of the igus® products. 

    We offer you 80,000 products from stock and from "Size One".

     


    Calculable service life - Free from lubrication 

    Managing without lubrication is the dream of every design engineer. The igus® polymer plain bearings make it a reality. After research spanning decades, an accurate calculation of the service life of polymer plain bearings is possible today. 

    Various
    iglidur® materials for very different application conditions. 
    A wide range of dimensions and applicable almost everywhere. Calculable service life! 

     


    Install and forget - suitable solution from stock 
    • lnnovative, quick to mount and high value products 
    • Delivery from stock saving storage costs for you 
    • Large range of products - Suitable solution found immediately 
    • Time-saving tools on the web 
    • Customized and ready-to-install supply of components 
    • Swift project planning and consulting with an increasing network of local sales engineers in Germany and all over the world. 

    With the igus® maintenance-free polymer plain bearings, we can assist you in improving your products and at the same time reduce costs. 

     


    igus® E-ChainSystem® offers a number of advantages for the design:

    • Electric, hydraulic and pneumatic energy, as well as digital signals - electric or with light - liquid media can be supplied in parallel 
    • Space-saving installation 
    • Low-noise operation 
    • High accelerations can be fielded 
    • Robust in wind, weathering, dirt accumulation and chemicals 
    • Simple installation of the modular system on site 
    • Quick installation and retrofit of cables

     


    Chainflex® lasts or money back 

    For the customer, the production must go on without problems and an energy supply system should accordingly function smoothly. That presupposes the effortless performance of all components and the cables inserted in them. igus® was the first company to develop complete E-ChainSystem®. Chainflex® cables and E-Chain® are supplied from one source and - according to application - offered with a system guarantee. The design principles that today prevent machine downtimes in factories all over the world have originated and emerge from the know-how and elaborate series of research that have steadily grown since 1989.
