Quality from the igus laboratory Tested thousands of times, proven millions of times. Applications involving high duty cycles, speeds and accelerations or demanding environmental conditions require proven systems especially for e-chains, cables, polymer bearings and linear systems. igus constantly conducts tests igus quality assurance...... 100 % visual inspection...... tested in the 250 m 2 dry-tech lab at its own laboratory under real-world conditions. Every year, we conduct more than 4,100 tests on e-chains and cables, and over 9,600 tests on plain bearings. These tests focus on push/pull forces, friction values and wear rates. Other factors like dirt, weathering, cold and impact are also tested. Our laboratory is also at your disposal. If we don t have data for your type of application, we can conduct a test representative of your requirements. www.igus.de/dry-tech-labor-film More than 12,000 tribological tests per year on 53 test rigs...... 1,000 customer tests per year...... or heavy duty tests up to 250 MPa 8.0 9 7.0 8 Wear [µm/km] 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Wear [µm/km] 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Load [MPa] Load [MPa] Cf53 304 SS HR carbon steel Hard-chromed 0.5 4.0 Coefficient of friction μ 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Load [MPa] Wear [µm/km] 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Aluminium, hard anodised Automatic screw steel Cf53 Shaft material Cf53, hard-chromed HR carbon steel 304 SS High grade steel The results of more than 15,000 tests are fed to our database annually.

igus close to the customer since 1964 From a garage to the global market with tribopolymers What began in 1964 with a single injection moulding machine in a garage in Cologne has within half a century become a global enterprise. It all started more than 50 years ago when Günter Blase, who established the company, had an idea about the potential of polymer materials. A mere one year after the company was established, an injection moulding machine about the same size as a sewing machine was used to make the very first products; in 1983, a lubrication-free and maintenance-free iglidur bearing was made for the first time in a serial production process. From then until today, the company has developed around 50 different catalogue materials, which are the basis of "dry-tech " bearing technology and are being used in many, many applications all over the world. 65 75 85 90 95 2001 05 08 2010 12 13 14 15 16 1965 1980 1983 1994 1997 2001 2005 2008 2010 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 First iglidur First Polymer First First drylin T drylin N iglidur PRT xiros polymer iglidur bar Individual Customise your own Versatile: The first drylin 3D printing slide element: Bearings bearing igubal linear miniature slewing ring ball bearings stocks for free design: plain bearing supported iglidur linear guide service for Plug valve catalogue, material: rod end guide linear guide bearings design: igubal coupling slewing ring sys- Tribo-Tape made of solid wear for the com pany 8 pages iglidur G systems systems Ø 10-100 mm bars tems with universal plastic and resistant components Pierburg glide elements carbon fibre 1993 2003 2007 2009 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 First drylin W drylin ZLW robolink drylin E drylin SLN High efficiency: iglidur tribo- Cost-effective, drylin carriage drylin R modular linear Toothed belt joints linear axes miniature linear dryspin high filament for lightweight and for curved linear round guide systems axes with stepper axes helix screw 3D printing modular: robolink rail shaft guide motor drives D 1971 1989 1991 1995 2001 2006 2009 2010 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 First E4 e-tubes, xigus 1.0 Low-vibration rol e-chain : Chip-proof: Turn 7000 : Guide upward: The versatile e-chain to open on electronic e-chains : system P4 RX e-tube twisterband liftband corrugated tube: (series 20) both sides catalogue system E6 e-skin readychain, with the slogan "Chain-Cable- Guarantee" The alternative to the cable drum: the modular e- spool system The first plug-in energy chain : readychain speed 2.0 100 % stable, filled in seconds: easy chain HD Today, the 2,950 employees come up with new ideas daily, make high-quality products, ensure streamlined processes and delivery times and, above all, stay close to the customer.
