igus stands for motion plastics! We develop and produce innovative components made of high-performance polymers for movement - and have been doing so since 1964, based in Cologne. The aim of our lubrication-free plastics is to offer our customers both technical improvements and cost savings at the same time. Many different applications from our more than 188,000 satisfied customers in over 80 countries show that this works. We will present some use cases below.
The ARD television studio employs state-of-the-art technology. The camera robots are equipped with igus energy chains, which enable gentle movements with the highest precision.
More and more logistic providers deliver packages with e-cargo bikes, which have to be robust and low-maintenance. b&p engineering therefore use plastic bearings from igus in their model.
Students on the Arrabona Racing Team, based in Hungary, are building a race car that is to be reliable and lightweight. Polymer plain bearings from igus are used, which are light as well as free from maintenance and lubrication.
At Thyssen Krupp's Duisburg hot rolling mill, a slab transport crane from BANG is exposed to heat and dirt during operation. It is equipped with "heavy duty" energy chains from igus.
