Lubrication-free and maintenance-free components for movement in laboratory equipment

e-chain series E3

• Extremely quiet running: max. 38dB(A)
• IPA class 1: almost no wear and abrasion
• Quick, easy access to cables thanks to zip fastener principle
• Good stability thanks to interlocking links

Energy chains easy chain

• Smallest bend radii for less required installation space
• Easy to fill, low assembly effort
• More cost-effective than fully enclosed chains

chainflex control cables CF98.PLUS

• For maximum loads and particularly small radii up to 3 x d
• Especially for short, very fast applications
• 4-year guarantee

Fully harnessed e-chain systems

• Energy chain with cables and connectors from a single source
• Reduced sources of error thanks to extensive checks
• 4-year guarantee

drylin W linear guide system

• Maximum flexibility thanks to single, double and curved rails
• Over 50 different smooth-running carriages with lubrication-free sliding elements
• Super compact e.g. double rail WS-06-20

drylin miniature axes for tight installation spaces

• Complete module with motor or customised drive
• Three carriage types (basic/adjustable/preload) with and without reinforced lead screw support
• Very easy assembly

dryspin lead screw nuts and lead screws

• Lubrication-free lead screw technology with high efficiencies of up to 82%
• Ideal for precise positioning movements: zero-backlash lead screw nut for a lifetime of minimal axial backlash

PRT slewing ring bearing

• Quiet and clean operation thanks to plastic sliding elements instead of metal balls
• Modular system
• Various external and internal gearings
• For small installation spaces: PRT-04 micro with 60mm diameter

Wear-resistant xiros ceramic bearing

• Resistant to temperature, chemicals and corrosion-free
• Up to 65 times longer service life compared to standard PEEK ball bearings

The new iglidur J variant without PTFE

• PTFE-free variant of our proven top seller in medical technology
• Lowest coefficients of friction in dry operation
• Very low stick-slip tendency
• Mould-resistant according to DIN EN ISO 846

3D printing material and service

• Abrasion-resistant filaments, powders and resins
• Customised components in the 3D printing service ready to ship in just 1-3 days
• Simply upload your 3D model and order online

Cost-effective pick & place automation

• Plug-and-play control hardware including free software
• Standard or customised linear robots
• Short delivery times

Absolute precision and reliability were essential for the feeds in this bottling plant. Today, the customer relies on our lead screw and linear technology, which impresses with a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and an optimum sliding pairing.

The Cor.Sync measuring device can determine the troponin level in the blood in just eight minutes with laboratory-grade precision. A key element for this precision is a stepper motor system in which 3D-printed gears from igus play a decisive role.
