3,200 assembled cables: configurable online and supplied from stock by igus

igus has expanded its range of assembled drive cables to a total of 3,200 types. With the addition of Mitsubishi and Parker, two new manufacturer standards have now been added to the 22 standards in the "readycable" range of assembled cables. igus supplies these to its customers from a single source, which can significantly reduce their process and assembly costs.

igus, the manufacturer of cables for motion, has once again expanded its range of assembled cables for use in energy chains; new items in the range include connectors for the production of assembled cables for Mitsubishi and Parker standards. "In order to offer design engineers even more freedom, our range now includes 3,200 different drive cables, which we fully assemble and deliver to our customers in a short time," explains Christian Stremlau, head of readychain and readycable division at igus. "Our assembled cables are specifically designed for use in energy chains, so that users can select from seven different quality levels according to their requirements -." The various drive cables have different approvals and certifications and are assembled with connectors according to the 22 different manufacturer standards.

"The fully assembled cables are supplied by igus with centimetre accuracy to the desired length, and without any surcharge for small quantities," says Stremlau. "We guarantee a lifetime of 36 months for all our cables." This igus guarantee of reliability is based on extensive tests in the largest testing laboratory in the industry, where the cables are subjected to realistic tests for their suitability for use in energy chains.

The lowest priced solution at the touch of a button
To make the selection of the appropriate cables even easier, all 3,200 different drive cables are listed in the readycable product finder. Here users can easily select the appropriate cable with connector without registering. Then they can learn the delivery time and the price, even accounting for the daily copper surcharge rate. The comparable cables are also juxtaposed compared to identify the savings potentials versus differences of the cables quickly and easily. Next, the correct cable can be directly ordered online.

Igus presents new material iglidur L500 is suitable for, inter alia, fans and electric motors

The Cologne-based igus GmbH has developed its range of plastics for continuously moving applications and is now presenting the iglidur material L500, a specialist for extremely high speeds. The iglidur L500 is a product of decades of research conducted by igus on lubricant and maintenance-free plastics and is of interest wherever continuously high speeds prevail, including electric motors and fans.

With iglidur L500, the motion plastics expert igus has developed a new plain bearing material, which is ideally suited to continuous operation at high speeds and with low loads. It combines extraordinary properties in running and wear-resistance. Continuous rotational speeds of 5 m/s are possible. And it performs even under extreme environmental conditions, such as temperatures ranging from -100°C up to +250°C and media contact. The iglidur L500 is characterised by, among other things, its low moisture absorption and thermal expansion.

The dry-running, wear-resistant alternative to sintered bearings
A solution for applications with high speeds and low loads are often achieved through sintered bearings. For this reason they are often used in electric motors. Due to their structure, sintered bearings are more vulnerable to shocks and edge pressure than solid bearings. In addition, the oil impregnation limits the operating temperature range and is unsuitable for an absolutely dry running. Comparison tests with iglidur L500 and sintered bearings showed that the wear rates of sintered bearings were higher in all driven speeds, sometimes even up to more than five times. These positive material properties of the iglidur L500 allow the lubrication-free operation of electric motors, fans or ventilators, where sintered bearings were previously used. The standard range of RoHS-compliant plain bearings is available from stock from July. Moreover, the material is available from now on for the development and production of customer-specific geometries and bearing solutions.
