Linear bearing system gets locking carriage
The latest development of the highly successful DryLin T linear bearing system is to have a locking carriage, useful if a machine guard must be held closed for safety reasons
Igus has developed a stainless steel version of its DryLin W linear guide especially for corrosive enviroments.
DryLin W Stainless was designed principally for the food process and packaging industries and for chemically exposed and underwater applications.
The rails are made of V4A high-grade steel (316 Ti).
The guides offer maximum corrosion resistance, withstand many different chemicals and are resistant to temperatures up to 250C.
The guide system needs no lubrication and therefore does not require any form of maintenance during normal operation.
Igus has also recently launched its magnetic LeviChain, which "floats" in a magnetic forcefield and is therefore almost completely wear-proof.
The Energy Chain designed to guide and protect cables moving over long distances has possible applications in cleanrooms, medical engineering, measurement engineering, automotive paint plants, industrial robots, electronics manufacturing, materials handling and linear motors.
Igus now provides harnessed drive and measuring systems and sensor cables for Fanuc drives in three different mechanical load qualities and in any length.
Igus already supplies system cables for Siemens, Indramat and Lenze drives.
Users of servo drives are relying increasingly on pre-harnessed cables in machine and plant engineering.
Chainflex cables are specially designed for particularly demanding dynamic applications where factors such as acceleration, length of travel and bending radius, must be considered. Request free introductory details about products from Igus UK ...
