With the igus Mobile Shore Power Outlet (iMSPO), igus has developed a mobile connection system for shore power supply that can be positioned at any location along the terminal where a ship is berthed. This solution, which is already in use at the Port of Hamburg, received the “Ports and Harbor Innovation of the Year” award at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe 2024 in Amsterdam.
Enter dimensions, determine application parameters, find plain bearings – simple! This is how the new igus online shop for polymer plain bearings now works. Whether catalogue part or special bearing, customers receive a transparent overview of all plain bearings that are suitable for their application. Convenient filters such as price, delivery time and service life help with the selection. Technical drawings and CAD data are available as a free download.
If you are lucky enough to own a sailing boat or a yacht, you will usually also need a dinghy to take passengers from the anchorage to land and back again so they don’t get wet. This requires a lift system, a platform or a garage to lower the dinghy into the water. H+B technics from Münster focusses on precisely this market with their customised lift systems. For years, they have been relying on motion plastics from igus. Now H+B technics are also presenting their products in the virtual world – using the industrial igus metaverse.
