Cable Carriers are built to be sturdy and quiet.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Jun 07, 2013 Comprising one- or two-part cable carriers, E2 Micro range can be mounted to machine in any direction and features smooth interior and built-in damper that help curb noise while promoting smooth operation. Weight suits highly dynamic applications, such as automatic doors, handling equipment, or pick-and-place robots. Double-stop dog system enhances load handling capabilities for Series E2-15, and self-supporting travel of up to 4 ft is possible even in space-restricted spaces.

Adjustable Retraction System secures cable guidance.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
May 01, 2013 Intended for large robot arms or robots programmed to perform complex movements, Triflex® RSP offers retraction force that can be adjusted by changing pressure inside pneumatic cylinder. This enables cable carrier to be safely retracted even when guiding complex assortment of cables and hoses. Attachment to various robot models is facilitated via compact mounting, and optional monitoring system is available for robots whose program sequences change, alternate, or are not 100% predictable.

Linear Actuators suit high-speed, low-load applications.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
May 01, 2013 Engineered with wear-resistant, dry-running, oil-free linear bearings that do not require any maintenance, DryLin® ZLW belt-driven linear actuators are suited for positioning small to medium loads at speeds up to 16.4 fps, even at stroke lengths up to 9.84 ft. For applications requiring more robust stages, ZLW-1660 profiles add radial load capabilities up to 450 lb. Parts operate as sliding systems, enabling accelerations without galling or damaging guide rails.

Plastic Bushing features fire-resistant construction.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Nov 15, 2012 Fire retardant and classified according to UL94 with V0 standards, iglide® GV0 polymer plain bearing offers max short-term application temperature of 410°F and max long-term application temperature of 266°F. V0 classification means this material is suitable for use in areas with high fire-protection regulations, including aircraft, automobile, and rail vehicle interiors, as well as elevator and escalator technology. Bushing also exhibits wear resistance on most shaft materials.

Modular Chain Strip serves high vertical applications.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 15, 2012 Customizable to different customer requirements and space restrictions, Liftband is available with basic circular, rectangular, or square shape and comprises 3 basic elements: straight and curved polymer strips and clip-on cable clamps. Connected strip segments determine basic shape of system as it is lifted into air, while cable clamps connect segments and route cables. Chain links do not rub against each other, minimizing wear and noise.

Transport Frame facilitates cable carrier installation.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 12, 2012 Designed to facilitate installation of pre-assembled ReadyChain® systems, QuickRack modular transport-and-assembly frame is made from telescopic support and brace modules which permit length adjustments at any point. Customizable system can be assembled on-site within one day. If modifications are required due to later changes to machine, system permits this. If machine series is discontinued, frame can be dismantled into individual parts and re-used.

Continuous-Flex Cables offer integrated strip tool.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 12, 2012 Integrated tear strip (CFRIP cord) in PVC control cable, Chainflex® CF5 (in the outer jacket), and shielded equivalent Chainflex CF6 (embedded in inner jacket) enables outer jacket to be opened, zipper-like, to desired length. Cables are designed so tear strip does not damage outer jacket or enclosed cores, even after millions of cycles in daily operation. This conserves time for electrical engineers while also eliminating need for additional cable-stripping tools.

Plastic Guide Profile eliminates need for steel trough.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 10, 2012 Guidelite lets Energy Chain® cable carriers travel over extended runs without steel guide trough. While lower run of cable carrier is guided between 2 of Guidelite's L-shaped, fiber-reinforced plastic profiles, upper run passes partly through guide brackets mounted 3 ft apart. Upper run of cable carrier is only partially guided, accommodating extended distances at lower speeds or with lower number of cycles. Corrosion- and weather-resistant product is insensitive to dirt and impacts.

Flexible Control Cables feature 600 V UL AWM compliance.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 05, 2012 Intended for flexing applications on automated machinery, Chainflex® CF5 control cables and CF6 shielded cables comply with 600 V AWM styles. Operating voltage rating of 600 V enables connection to motors worldwide as well as use in applications that require use where local electrical codes mandate cables be same voltage regardless of actual function. Constructed with outer oil-resistant PVC jacket, cables feature conductors bundled in short pitch lengths around tensile-resistant rope core.

Pivot Bushing is designed for heavy-duty applications, loads.

Igus, Inc.    East Providence, RI 02914 0349
Oct 03, 2012 Injection-molded, self-lubricating, maintenance-free iglide® Q2 bushings exhibit low chance of deformation that promotes extended service life in heavy-duty pivoting applications. Able to withstand radial loads up to 11,023 lb/in.², these heavy-duty plastic bushings also exhibit resistance to wear.
