igus UK will be showcasing its new, high performance tribo-polymer bearings, energy chains and cables at The Machine Building Show, on stand G11. Visitors to the stand will be able to see live demonstrations of its maintenance-free bearings, as well as its energy chains and chainflex continuous-flex cables. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the polymer experts and learn how to optimise processes and reduce costs through innovative use of plastic components.
Two of the new products on display will be the WJRM double hybrid bearing and the R4.31 energy chain. In addition, igus will be showing its range of energy chains, which are made from high performance plastics. They are tough, resistant to corrosion and impact, offering high UV, temperature and precipitation stability, over extremely long working lives.
igus has been developing its cables for over 20 years and its chainflex cables have been designed with demanding moving automation applications in mind, giving reliable performance with high cycle rates, compact design spaces, and very small bending radii of up to four times the outer cable diameter.
Experts from igus UK will be on hand to provide advice and guidance on selecting energy chains, bearings and cabling assemblies for your own specific application.
