From therapy system for gait training to bath and stair lifts for seniors: high loads at the bearing points in fluent movements are just as important as the maximum service life at low acquisition and maintenance costs and the reliable guiding of various electrical cables or additional media. igus® e-chainsystems® and chainflex® cables offer these advantages just like the drytech® plain bearing technology.
Rehabilitation systems
Typical application areas: Screw drives for bath or patient lifts, folding mechanisms and brakes in mobile lifting and bathing systems, movable clamping locks of the drive unit in stair lifts, various pivoting movements of levers / mechanical safety devices or seats on stair lifts, the power supply of stair lifts, the actuation, lifting, locking and fall protection systems for wheelchair lifts, adjusting of the controls and seat/backrest surfaces in movement trainers or fitness equipment in practice or studio, guiding of electrical power or signal cables in movement trainers which support the patient through mechanics during the movement.
