Lubrication-free and maintenance-free components for movement in laboratory equipment

Maximum cleanroom suitability

e-chain series E3

• Extremely quiet running: max. 38dB(A)
• IPA class 1: almost no wear and abrasion
• Quick, easy access to cables thanks to zip fastener principle
• Good stability thanks to interlocking links

Cable protection for the smallest installation spaces

Energy chains easy chain

• Smallest bend radii for less required installation space
• Easy to fill, low assembly effort
• More cost-effective than fully enclosed chains

100 million double strokes guaranteed

chainflex control cables CF98.PLUS

• For maximum loads and particularly small radii up to 3 x d
• Especially for short, very fast applications
• 4-year guarantee

75% less assembly time

Fully harnessed e-chain systems

• Energy chain with cables and connectors from a single source
• Reduced sources of error thanks to extensive checks
• 4-year guarantee

100% lubrication-free modular system

drylin W linear guide system

• Maximum flexibility thanks to single, double and curved rails
• Over 50 different smooth-running carriages with lubrication-free sliding elements
• Super compact e.g. double rail WS-06-20

Super compact: 28 x 22cm

drylin miniature axes for tight installation spaces

• Complete module with motor or customised drive
• Three carriage types (basic/adjustable/preload) with and without reinforced lead screw support
• Very easy assembly

Reduced axial clearance

dryspin lead screw nuts and lead screws

• Lubrication-free lead screw technology with high efficiencies of up to 82%
• Ideal for precise positioning movements: zero-backlash lead screw nut for a lifetime of minimal axial backlash

Quiet rotation without lubrication

PRT slewing ring bearing

• Quiet and clean operation thanks to plastic sliding elements instead of metal balls
• Modular system
• Various external and internal gearings
• For small installation spaces: PRT-04 micro with 60mm diameter

Up to 65 times more durable

Wear-resistant xiros ceramic bearing

• Resistant to temperature, chemicals and corrosion-free
• Up to 65 times longer service life compared to standard PEEK ball bearings

Smooth running without lubrication and PTFE

The new iglidur J variant without PTFE

• PTFE-free variant of our proven top seller in medical technology
• Lowest coefficients of friction in dry operation
• Very low stick-slip tendency
• Mould-resistant according to DIN EN ISO 846

Up to 50 times more durable than conventional materials

3D printing material and service

• Abrasion-resistant filaments, powders and resins
• Customised components in the 3D printing service ready to ship in just 1-3 days
• Simply upload your 3D model and order online

Linear robots from €1,065.28

Cost-effective pick & place automation

• Plug-and-play control hardware including free software
• Standard or customised linear robots
• Short delivery times

Clean movement in filling line

Absolute precision and reliability were essential for the feeds in this bottling plant. Today, the customer relies on our lead screw and linear technology, which impresses with a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and an optimum sliding pairing.

Precision in the blood analyser

The Cor.Sync measuring device can determine the troponin level in the blood in just eight minutes with laboratory-grade precision. A key element for this precision is a stepper motor system in which 3D-printed gears from igus play a decisive role.
