Compact System

Long travels also with small EChains®. The energy supply Micro Flizz® is a compact, cost-effective system, for a safe supply from energy, data and air.

Fully harnessed systems

With ReadyChains®, igus® can do the work for you, supplying fully harnessed plug and play systems directly to your machine.

Dampening

Low wear against many shaft materials, low coefficients of friction in dry operation, vibration-dampening, lubricant-free

Compact

Simple installation, lubricant-free, high stiffening

Clip

Very simple installation through clipping in sheet metal, no additional axial securing required, space-saving

Clip on to stop rattling!

Lubricant-free and rattle-free plain bearing in sheet metals for e.g. automatic machines and machine housings. Made of elastic polymer materials like e.g. iglidur® M250

Adjustable

Manual clearance adjustment through "turn-to-fit" function, 100% lubricant-free, low installation height

Rugged

Rugged, precise, dirt-resistant, lubricant-free

Maintenance free

Lubricant-free sliding

This series is used for the most extreme conditions such as dirt, adhesive residues, chips, mud, etc. The polymer gliding elements made of iglidur® J are fixed in the lid and are therefore permanent. This system is compatible with many standard commercial recirculating ball bearing systems and is available in the following sizes: 20, 25 and 30.
