igus® is a specialist in the area of plastic research and can look back on 40 years of experience here. Specially developed high-performance plastics enable the use of igus® e-chain systems® in almost all application areas. Damp, dirt, chips, heat, cold, we have the solution for every requirement and do not use any steel or other metals in our e-chain® materials. In an increasing number of heavy duty areas, steel systems are being successfully replaced by igus® plastic e-chains® due to their exceptional suitability.

drylin® R linear bearings have run oil-free for over three years in this heavy duty concrete pipe cutter
Asphalt is supplied to the front of this road construction vehicle via an energy chain cable carrier.
drylin® T is used for its low weight in this tile-handling machine
Pre-assembled readychain® cable carriers for woodworking machinery.
iglide® G300 plastic bushings withstand sawdust and high temperatures in this demanding woodworking application.
Polymer bearings give a weight and time advantage to the ACR Speedstar veneer jointing machine
This rotating machine tool for furniture production uses drylin® linear guides.
Here an energy supply system was developed from standard parts, whose piggyback system at last allocates a
defined place for the large volume suction hoses.
A readychain® pre-assembled cable carrier system is installed on this disc-sawing machine, resulting in quick cycle times.
Energy chains, fully assembled with cables and connectors, are delivered ready for mounting (readychain®) and can be installed immediately. In this way the electrical installation time has been halved.
This company decided to use pre-assembled readychain® cable carriers in a new machine tool series.
