The avoidance of open lubricants protects optical systems from critical deposit build-up. Likewise, high loads can be absorbed and even sensitive media such as fibre optic cables (FOC) are routed safely. Thus iglidur® materials and igus® energy chains are seen in, among other things:
Screw drives for focusing, aperture inserts, swivel units, optical inspection systems, support systems for surgical microscopes.
Advantages of igus® products in optical systems in medical technology
No outgassing
Many suitable counter partners
Stick-slip-free, even screw drives
Low movement noise
Possible pretensioned options
