Blackcam, a manufacturer of camera motion systems, uses Igus' 3D printing service to produce spare parts within a few hours.

Oiles has developed a composite plain bearing from the Fiberflon series and a thin-walled bronze bearing. Both new products are based on the use of special material solutions and are suitable for many applications in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, hydraulic engineering, wind energy and material handling.
Chemical-resistant tribo-plastic

Igus has clip-on and wrap-around bearings in its range for lubrication-free mounting. They are used in sheet metal bushings due to their simple installation. Igus has developed the material Iglidur K230 to withstand high edge loads under extreme conditions.

Belden Universal introduces major improvements to its joints for pick-and-place applications (Delta robots).
Explosive mixtures, hazardous mixtures or toxic liquids are among the critical application media for pumps. When safety is the top priority and system planners and operators must increasingly take safety, environmental protection and legal regulations into account when selecting pumps, economic aspects also count.

Aventics presents a slotted cylinder. The heart of the RTC-SB (SB stands for slide bearing) is, as with the manufacturer's other double-acting slotted cylinders, the oval piston shape.

Five Iglidur high-performance polymers now officially meet the fire protection requirements of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft interiors. Areas of application for plain bearings made from these materials include bearing points in seats, tables and doors.

The 3D printing of lubrication- and maintenance-free bearings made from tribo-polymers enables a high degree of freedom in the design while at the same time ensuring the wear resistance of the components used. Thanks to extensive test series in its own test laboratory, Igus is able to predict the service life of the individually additively manufactured polymer bearing online. On this basis, customers can individually calculate their desired bearings online.
motion plastics in forklift trucks

In order to avoid machine downtimes, it is important to use robust and durable machine elements. This is where the lubrication- and maintenance-free high-performance plastics from Igus come into their own. Using the example of industrial trucks, the company shows where motion plastics can be used.
