Space-saving alternative to the servo cable in machine tools: PUR spindle cable29/07/2013
Enlargement of the igus single-core program about a cheaper variant with strong conductor cable
The igus motor cable family is supplemented with a cheaper single core with PUR jacket – the chainflex cable CF270.UL.D. single core. The bending resistant conductor cable, made of fine strands, is developed for flexible operation in energy chains used in machine tools. This is a space-saving alternative to the space-consuming four-wire servo cables for such applications. Conductor and shield superstructures design have been especially optimized for this application.

Protection for moving cables: igus RX tube proves itself in a test with real conditions16/07/2013
A laboratory test, carried out under hard conditions, for safely moving cables in the area of mechanical engineering shows tightness against chips
The plastic energy tube RX, from igus, successfully resists chips when put through hard operation. This test result concludes after a defined period of 100,000 double strokes and a steady feed of metal chips with different sizes. Comparisons highlight that statements about chip tightness of energy tubes can only be made on the basis of test that simulate real operating conditions.

When every gram counts: Polymer plain bearings on carbon fibre shafts convince in the test08/07/2013
Test series in the igus test laboratory identify iglidur J260 as optimal material in combination with shafts made of carbon.
With tribo polymers and carbon two future marking materials meet and this combination promises low weight and low wear. The igus GmbH from Cologne has now found the optimal iglidur plain bearing material with iglidur J260 for the use on carbon fibre shafts. Previously 25 iglidur variants were tested on the test bench to prove its durability at linear short-stroke applications.

Plastic plain bearings à la EU10/04/2013
At the Hanover Fair 2013, igus presented two new polymer plain bearing materials for the food industry. The innovative high-performance tribo-polymer “iglidur A181” and the new media-resistant low-cost material “iglidur A160” meet both the FDA guidelines and EU directive for the food industry. Thanks to their high abrasion resistance, low humidity absorption and resistance to chemicals, both materials are suitable for applications with direct food contact.
