POLYMERS

We offer high-performance polymers for movement by igus based in Germany. These "motion plastics" are products from the energy chain, cable, plain bearing, linear technology, bar stock, 3D printing, Low-cost Automation, and intelligent sensor areas

The world moves constantly. And wherever there is movement, igus can help improve what moves. This is the guiding principle that drives igus. By developing products made of low-wear, high-performance polymers, igus improves movement all over the world. These "motion plastics" are products from the energy chain, cable, plain bearing, linear technology, bar stock, 3D printing, Low-cost Automation, and intelligent sensor areas.

Most products are manufactured using the injection moulding process, from which the company derives its name: igus = "Industriespritzguss" (industrial injection moulding).

Igus
igus is a manufacturer of high-performance polymers for movement, based in Germany developing and producing so-called motion plastics, innovative products made from lubrication-free plastics, since 1964
Energy Chains
Energy chains are mechanical machine elements used to guide and protect energy, data and signals that have to withstand the most diverse environmental influences.
Plastic bearings
Plastic bearings instead of metal. Bearings made from high performance plastics provide mechanical stability with the lowest coefficients of friction without additional lubrication.
Chainflex Cables
available for the most varied requirements in various approvals and conformities. Depending on the type of cable, they are torsion-resistant, suitable for narrow radii or very low temperatures, UV-resistant, flame-retardant and halogen-free.
