Video highlights polymer bearings for machine assembly

The company has now put together a selection of innovative new polymer bearing products and product range extensions in an animated video entitled Bearings news 2011 which can be viewed at http://www.igus.co.uk/videos/bearingsNewsMix igus has developed polymer materials and new products by working with and recognising what its customers wanted. Armed with this information, the company is confident in its ability to provide solutions to many of the issues engineers in a variety of industries may face. The new components featured in the video are a natural evolution from the thousands of existing products already in the igus repertoire. New products to the list include the iglidur RN248 material, which has specific ingredients within the polymer mix that allows parts to be detected by industrial standard metal detectors. Also in the igubal range there is a new igubal ball and socket joint that can be easily assembled and dismantled by a simple click fitting. iglidur N54 is made from a biopolymer which is based on 54% renewable resources and is green in colour to reflect its credentials. Viewers of the video will find that igus has added an array of new products which complement an extensive component list. All of the new products follow the igus principles of service, good price/service ratio, 24 hour delivery and personal engineering support when you need it, the company claims.
