Abrasion behaviour or abrasion resistance are terms which are often used in connection with cables in e-chains. Because the abrasion behaviour is essential for the durability of a cable. Why do cables have to be abrasion-resistant? To make a long story short: so that they last longer. The longer, the better. Depending on the application, […]
Soldering is an important part of working with electronic components. For components to be firmly connected to each other and for electricity to flow without problems, not only is the right soldering technique required but also the right equipment. Based on our daily work in cable harnessing, we will show you in this article which equipment makes your soldering work easier.
Plain bearings are available in many models and differ significantly in technological details. Although rather unknown compared to ball bearings, plain bearing technology is much older and dates back to the year 3000 BC. But what types of plain bearings are there today? Where are they used? And what distinguishes iglidur plain bearings from others? […]
Plastics and hot temperatures in ovens do not have to oppose each other, as shown in the following application example of the Koppe company. Because lubrication-free polymer ball bearings from igus are successfully used in their pellet stoves for private households. The functionality of the stoves is ingenious, as the pellets burn without electricity via a mechanical drive unit. The polymer ball bearings ensure long running times and smooth operation in the drive unit.
There are large and small packages, narrow and wide bottles, round or square products and in order to pack or guide all these products quickly, there are so-called lane adjustments also called multi-lane adjustment systems. Where is lane adjustment used? Lane adjustment from igus enables the adjustment of several conveyor belt tracks without replacing heavy […]
