Igus "Sports Plastics" is widely used in the logistics industry

“Sports Plastics” is a concept proposed by igus, which aims to apply engineering plastic products in the structure of motion to achieve lubrication-free and maintenance-free functions, reduce costs and improve technology for machinery. Igus products not only reduce costs for customers in the logistics industry, but also save installation space, weight and installation time. For example, igus offers a self-guided system that eliminates the need for rails and guides for long-stroke applications. The guide rail with comb teeth is used to replace the ordinary crossbar and can directly guide the drag chain.

Faster, higher

In the field of logistics, customers place higher demands on equipment. For example, you must achieve a higher speed in the coverage stroke. To this end, igus developed the guidelok slimline F system. This system can realize the vertical power supply, ensure no sloshing, and keep running between the guides under high acceleration. The igus e-spool is an alternative to traditional cable reels. The standard igus drag chain has been redesigned for rotary and spiral applications. No need for a sliding line structure, the cable line can be up to 16 cm in diameter and can be rolled up and unfolded. This system is now available in two extended versions with motor flanges and heavy duty models with greater drive. A version with greater contraction force for vertical guidance. These three e-spool types are available in standard sizes and multiple extensions (4, 7, 14 meters), each with 1 to 2 twisterbands. The maximum expansion speed is 1 m/s.

Lubrication-free sliding bearing technology

For the logistics industry, the igus lubrication-free linear guide system DryLin SLW-25120, high load, small installation space. This spindle linear module system can withstand a radial load of 1000 kg and an axial load of 250 kg. Compared to ordinary high-load linear systems, igus products have a small installation space and are flexible to install. Can be adjusted manually or electrically. The compact, rugged DryLin SLW-25120 linear system is ideal for positioning mechanisms. The iglidur PRT engineering plastic slewing ring bearing is also ideal for the logistics industry. There are currently 7 types and 7 types. The smallest slewing ring bearing has an inner diameter of only 20 cm and a maximum of 3 m. Igus iglidur J sliding material can also be used to form slewing ring bearings of any size. According to the freely designed slewing ring bearing, it can be arbitrarily constructed in size from a few centimeters to several meters, with a bearing capacity of several tons.
