At Southern Manufacturing, igus will showcase cost-effective, lightweight and maintenance-free bearings and cable management systems for a variety of engineering applications, including the drylin W curved rail system and Compact Rotation Module.
Like all drylin systems, the easy-to-install drylin W curved rails and self-aligning carriages do not require lubrication and therefore run maintenance-free. A pivoting spherical ball, made of the engineering plastic, iglidur J, is used to self-align the carriage for smooth, reliable movement along the rail.
The new Compact Rotation Module (CRM) is an easy-to-install rotary system that guides different types of media – power, signals, data, fibre-optic, pneumatic and oil – through rotational movements of up to 360° degrees in tight spaces. Stand N97
