We at igus specialise in wear-resistant, lubrication-free and low-maintenance components made of high-performance plastics for moving applications of all kinds.Every year, we introduce a large number of new innovations that ensure the considerable, steady growth and sustainable corporate success of igus GmbH.The focus of these many new products and product range additions is particularly on specific applications that we can improve technically and/or solve more cost-effectively, true to our slogan "Tech up, Cost down".In addition to concrete, tested new products, we also regularly present design studies, i.e. ideas that have been moulded into initial drafts in order to sound out market potential.Here, too, there is usually already a specific challenge/application in the background.

NEW: Now with width detection for the E2.38 series
Identifying spare parts made easy. With AI-supported spare part recognition from igus, a spare part can be identified quickly and easily. The spare part is identified directly on site using mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. The aim: to reduce search time and always get the right spare part.
for E2(i).26 / E2(i).38 / E2(i).48 / E4Q.64L / E4.64L
Individually adapt the energy chain to the hose diameter. Tool-free and easy to fit and replace hoses as required.
More space for hydraulics | strong and cost-effective
One-piece, cannot be opened, integrated brake. 20% more additional load and 25% more unsupported length (compared to the E2/000 series).
Modular, flexible, simple and cost-effective
New mounting brackets for the E2.26 and E2.38, damper clip for the E2i.48, new crossbars E2.26F and E2.38F.
Space-saving guidance without a trpugh
For vertically hanging applications where a guide trough is not possible for space reasons. Magnets hold the e-chain in the specified direction and "fix" it to the metal wall.
Strength with lightweight feature
Based on the successful E4Q, the first sizes of an L variant are now available.
Expansion of the E4Q modular system
Numerous new products for the E4Q series, from the new locking separator to TUB tabs and universal interior separation.
Stronger connection with simplified assembly and disassembly
Newly adapted connection principle of the pin/bore connection for new possibilities in the field of multi-dimensional energy supply. The advantage: even higher tensile forces and simpler and faster assembly/disassembly.
Strong, vibration-resistant and compact
50% stronger than pure plastic energy chains and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains. No rivets, no screws. Now available as energy tubes
Strong, vibration-resistant and compact
50% stronger than pure plastic energy chains and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains. No rivets, no screws. Now available as energy tubes.
The best mix of plastic and steel
Maximum stability: steel plates absorb the force of the fixed
stop-dogs of the plastic inner and outer links. Quick and easy assembly of the YE.28 thanks to the YE series' plug-in system. No screws or rivets are required for assembly.
Precise chain lengths
Connecting elements for the YEHD.108 and YEHD.112 can now
also be ordered for an even number of links. Realise precise travel lengths. Cost down with chain lengths designed precisely for the application
The series offering the highest cleanroom requirements is now available in three inner heights: 29, 38 and 53mm. Optimised with the crossbars every link design in the outer radius and as standard with crossbars plus interior separation made of iglidur J.
More space for small rooms
Thanks to the specially developed polymer material igumer SKS, the e-skin soft fulfils the highest cleanroom class. Now available in 100mm width for the version with 28mm inner height. There are now 4 inner heights: 20mm, 24mm, 40mm and the inner height 28mm with 2 widths 68mm and 100mm.
Maximum modularity in six sizes
By combining different single pod sizes, the e-skin flat allows you to utilise the smallest installation spaces effectively. Three additional variants for further flexibility: size SKF10 in open and closed plus the SKF15 now also in open.
Straight run guaranteed
The layer holder guides several layers of e-skin flat straight in the track, even with very long unsupported lengths. The e-skin flat layers remain on top of each other and can utilise the unsupported properties of the e-skin flat with support chain, even if they are not installed in every layer.
Securely fasten individual pods
Single pods from the e-skin flat system can now also be easily fastened and strain-relieved. This means that individual cables can be routed separately from each other in a pod after the movement, or individual pods can be used to organise a string of cables for the smallest movements.
ESD protection for ISO 1 cleanrooms
Proven e-skin soft now made of dissipative material. This prevents the formation of electrostatic fields and the abrupt discharge caused by the movement of the black e-skin soft due to the material. The e-skin soft ESD is suitable for the highest cleanroom class with a small installation space.
Minimise cable abrasion
The ring interior separation enables clean distribution of the cables and hoses with minimum abrasion, as it is made of the tribo-optimised plastic iglidur J. This has proven itself in numerous tests and applications as the best gliding partner for any cable jacket or hose material.
Connect more flexibly
Larger, reinforced mounting bracket as an extension to the accessory options for the smallest e-skin soft. Can be integrated very flexibly thanks to the additional bushings in front of the head.
Cleanroom-compatible for high-speed SCARA applications
Based on the certified cleanroom clean SCARA cable solution size SKS20, a solution with the next larger e-skin, the SKS24, has now also been built. The swivelling connections enable use up to ISO class 2 (IPA-certified, in size SKS20).
Compact system, easy to integrate
The e-tract for the charging stations, reduced to the retraction unit only. With mounting holes for easy integration into housings and charging stations.
Optimum protection for charging cables
Cable retraction system for neat cable management at the quick-charging station.
Route more load faster in the tightest of spaces
Route many different cables in the tightest of spaces, now for 100% more additional load at higher speeds. Different media and diameters routed in one system.
For particularly favourable integration | maximised to the minimum
The igus version of a cable reel without slip ring, for cable diameters from 5mm to 15mm. Intended for integration into existing customer structures.
Two cables, no slip ring
With the new multicable e-spool, up to two cables can be unwound 7 metres without a slip ring. Compact, space-saving, lightweight. Available in two sizes: for 2m and 7m pull-out length.
Compact solution, super-fast installation
The compact solution for cable guidance on slewing jib cranes with a travel of up to 10 metres.
