igus® announces the release of a new compact version of its PRT-04 slewing ring bearing, offering mechanical engineers a powerful solution for modern machine designs with limited installation space.
Built upon the proven ReBeL Move AMR platform, the base features a robust three-point bearing and supports a load capacity of 50 kilograms with a payload of 100 kilograms.
The motion plastics specialist will showcase its new PTFE-free materials, cable carriers made from recycled materials and newly developed dry cleanroom certification for its e-chain cable carriers developed in collaboration with Fraunhofer IPA.
Boasting a 1,000-millimeter working diameter and an additional rotary axis that provides four degrees of freedom, the DR1000 allows robots to seamlessly grip and orient components.
igus has introduced an aluminum version of its drylin NT-60 telescopic rail, eliminating the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and over 100 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
igus® announces it has developed a new polymer bearing material called iglide® JPF that is free of both per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This innovation marks an important step in the company's efforts to create sustainable alternatives to conventional plain bearings.
