igus, which has its UK headquarters in Northampton, is working closely with global companies specialising in vertical farming – the practice of growing plants indoors in stacked layers – by providing the lubrication-free tribo-polymers needed for this type of food production.

50% more cost-effective than its traditional metallic recirculating ball equivalent, the drylin linear systems are corrosion-free, lubricant-free, lightweight and can improve technology.

A new black coloured guide roller with smooth-running polymer ball bearings has been designed and manufactured – following a customer request and extensive testing by the team at igus.

Utilising igus products within the car’s design not only reduces weight and noise, but is also more cost-effective than their metal counterparts. In this video, examples of iglidur products are showcased in various areas of the car.

In order to supply modern motors with energy and data, users need appropriate cables that function reliably, even at high accelerations and on long travels.

The igus e-skin is a modular corrugated tube developed for use as a flat cable guidance system for cleanrooms. These energy chains supply cleanroom machines with data, media and energy.
