Chainflex® continuous-flex cables |
|
With an overall shield for increased EMI protection, Chainflex USB cables are unaffected by high-noise, industrial environments where crosstalk can be a problem. They are also silicon-free according to PV 3.10.7 and are UL AWM, ROHS and CE compliant. |
|
| Industrial standard FireWire cables typically fail prematurely over long distances because they are not designed with constant flexing in mind. igus has solved this problem with a combination of its specially constructed Chainflex® CFBUS.055 FireWire cable and its Energy Chain® cable carriers | |
| The new UL- and CSA-approved versions have a bending radius of 5xd and a flame-resistant TPE outer sheath. The cables also remain highly flexible even when exposed to extreme temperatures ranging from -31 to +212 degrees Fahrenheit. | |
| Supported by tests, not just theory, CF21 and CF27 perform through millions of cycles in short or long travel applications, even with a small bend radius of 7.5 times the outer cable diameter. | |
| CF7 and CF8 are equipped with short-pitch conductor twisting for long cable life and are ideal for demanding, high-flex applications. | |
| CF9 and CF10 are two of the most resistant cables to emerge from the bunch, as they are equipped with bare copper conductors and are fully resistant to oil, frost, chemicals and exceptionally low or high temperatures. | |
| The CFBUS series supports Profibus, DeviceNet, Interbus, Can-Bus, Firewire, USB and Ethernet industrial networks. These special cables are designed to flex for millions of cycles and provide fast, reliable data transmission. | |
| These Chainflex cables can replace standard twisted-pair cables in most applications. When EMI-dampening and signal clarity are critical to an application, such as in the electronic, medical and entertainment industries, this type of cable configuration is especially beneficial. | |
| Chainflex Category 5 Ethernet cables are designed for high speed data transmission systems and transmit up to 100 Megabits per second. | |
| Chainflex Air hoses have been successfully tested for more than 10 million cycles at a bend radius 10 times the outer diameter while installed in an E-Chain. | |
| Chainflex CF130 & 140 cables are an affordable continuous-flex tray cable for control and power systems. | |
| Chainflex cables deliver cost-effective data transmission solutions. | |
| Crank it up with Chainflex CF300 high-voltage, high-amperage flexible power cable. | |
| Chainflex CF98 squeezes its way into ATM machines and high-speed pick-and-place robotic applications with its unique copper alloy and a bend radius of just four times the outer diameter—the smallest to date. | |
| Chainflex CF170 from igus: low-cost cable for machine tools. | |
| Chainflex continuous-flex cables from igus are designed specifically for use in an Energy Chain System for a complete, safe and long-lasting energy supply system. | |
| Igus Chainflex continuous-flex cables cables withstand the stress of tight bending radii and deliver longer extended life at a lower cost. | |
| Fly away with Chainflex cables with thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jackets that are completely resistant to Skydrol®, the aircraft industry’s leading phosphate-ester hydraulic fluid. | |
| Chainflex tie wraps and plates ensure the security of Energy Chain cable management systems. | |
| Igus offers a line of continuous-flex, drive, interconnect cables especially for Allen Bradley “MP series” industrial automation systems. | |
| Chainflex CFLG combines the high optical transmission quality of glass with the ability to deliver a superior performance, even in harnessed, high-flex applications. | |
| Chainflex CF.INI can withstand severe weather conditions with an approved temperature range of -31 to +212 degrees Fahrenheit. | |
iglide® plastic bearings, DryLin® linear bearings, igubal® spherical bearings |
|
| igus will be displaying its iglide® plain bearings, which are dirt- and fertilizer-resistant, low cost and can cope with up to 21,750 pounds per square inch (PSI). | |
| igus® Inc. will be exhibiting at NeoCon from June 9-11. The company will be primarily promoting its self-lubricating polymer plain bearings for office chair pivot points at the show. | |
| igus® Inc. today announced that Quality Boat Lifts uses iglide® plastic, plain bearings on its lifts used by both residential and commercial marinas and private owners to remove boats from the water. | |
| Due to continually advancing bearing technology, igus is able to supply metal plain and rolling bearing alternatives more in line with environmental considerations for an increasing number of applications. | |
| The company chose DryLin R bearings because they are impervious to the various outdoor elements encountered by its drilling machines. Previously, dirt and mud constantly dropping onto the components and creating sludge caused the rack-and-pinion system to fail. | |
| The 2-inch diameter solid rod is available in either iglide R or iglide J: two high quality bearing materials not accessible anywhere else on the market as semi-finished products. | |
| iglide PRT slewing ring bearings are suitable for all environments; in particular, semiconductor and cleanroom applications, assembly lines, production facilities and robots. | |
DryLin EasyTube is a completely lubrication-free, compact and lightweight system, consisting of just six individual parts: a leadscrew, tube, two clamping rings, an attachment flange and slide block. |
|
| The mini plain bearing is part of igus’ line of igubal® spherical bearings. It requires minimal installation space and can be supplied immediately ex-stock. The self-aligning bearing is light and compact, requires no lubrication, is simple to install and adapts to all angular misalignments. | |
| e-Ride Industries uses igubal pillow blocks and clip bearings on the steering shafts and suspensions of its electric utility vehicles. | |
| Stainless steel DryLin W is ideal for harsh environments such as underwater, chemical and wash down, or for applications ranging from packaging to food and beverage, textile and marine. | |
| Igubal clip bearings eliminate the misalignment issues often encountered when using imprecisely formed sheet metal and are ideal for both office equipment and automotive seating applications, to name a few. | |
| Iglide J is ideal for both high-speed and low-speed applications, as it operates flawlessly at rates up to 1,968 feet per minute (fpm) in linear motion and 197 fpm in rotary motion. | |
| The easy-to-use, 10-page brochure includes a rundown of the features and benefits of such iglide bearings as iglide R, a low-cost replacement for bronze bearings; iglide T500, a high-temperature bearing with superior chemical resistance; and iglide A200, ideal for applications requiring FDA-approved material. | |
| Iglide T500 is an ideal choice for both oscillating, high-loads and high-frequency, low-load applications. In applications with low speeds and radial pressures higher than 8,700 psi iglide T500 lasts twice as long as coated or lubricated metal bearings. | |
| Igus will custom-mold any of its iglide polymer materials to fit the size and shape of any machine. | |
| DryLin N17 is the smallest linear guide system available from igus. | |
| If you have a need for speed and low-noise, DryLin R linear bearings are the choice for you. | |
| Rest easy, the DryLin R and DryLin S power-packed combo eliminates rust and contamination for a worry-free solution. | |
| Lighten the load with DryLin S lightweight aluminum shafting. | |
| New plastic spindle-lift table is lightweight and low-cost while its sister super-flat spindle lift fits into the smallest space restrictions. | |
