igus offers customers the opportunity to save costs and protect the environment at the same time when purchasing cables from the chainflex range: thanks to the residual stock in the online shop, they can purchase remaining lengths of chainflex cables at a 50% discount. This zero-waste measure helps avoid waste and makes the company more sustainable.
To be able to supply mobile homes with electricity independently, the company CityFreighter has developed a solar tracker that automatically orients itself towards the sun and thus ensures maximum energy output. Its mechanics are made of lubrication-free igus motion plastics. They ensure precise and maintenance-free movement of the solar panel, even in adverse weather conditions.
The reliability of energy and data cables has the potential to increase the economic efficiency of wind turbines. With the TRM triflex Rotation Module (TRM for short), igus is therefore launching a new type of cable guide on the market that reliably protects cables in flexible energy chains made of high-performance plastic when the nacelles rotate by up to 1,800°. The compact system is the result of a design study and can be pre-fitted and customised to individual applications.
Sound engineers in theatres, opera houses and television studios are often under enormous time and expectation pressure. The e-spool microphone from igus provides help. With the new electrically powered microphone reeler, microphone cables of up to 30m can be automatically guided from the ceiling at the touch of a button. A trick in the design optimises transmission quality.
As PFAS substances might be more strictly regulated in future, more and more companies in the manufacturing industry are already looking for product solutions that do not use this controversial group of chemicals. To offer customers a safe and transparent solution for telescopic rails, igus has developed a new version of the drylin NT-60 – a telescopic rail made of aluminium whose plain bearing material does without PTFE and around 100 other PFAS compounds. The sliding elements feature installation sizes 35 and now also 60, and are used in a PTFE-free and PFAS-tested telescopic rail system. It can be continuously extended to a maximum of 2m and is found in vehicles, furniture and medical technology, among others.
