New service centre for industrial gear units opens

SEW Eurodrive opened a new 4,000 square foot service centre in Bromsgrove to meet the growing demand for its range of maintenance and service options for industrial gear units.

How to avoid guide wear on drive chains

In this video, igus demonstrates a wear test that it is currently performing at its test facility in Cologne, Germany. Results show that the iglidur stock plate chain guide has a low coefficient of friction and is therefore significantly more wear resistant compared to traditional materials. As the stock plate is made of regular iglidur materials, igus online tools such as the lifetime calculator are also applicable.

The right accumulation chain for each conveying system
