Products for aviation and aerospace

e-chains in use at -40 degrees

To reduce time, delays and therefore costs of de-icing and washing aircraft, MSG Production AS developed a fully automated all-in-one concept. The Norwegian company relies entirely on the advantages of motion plastics from igus: E2 & E4 series energy chains ensure reliable cable guidance, and igubal pillow block bearings provide the mounting of the cleaning nozzles.

Energy supply systems in GESTRA radar system

GESTRA is a radar-based system developed by the Fraunhofer institute that is used to search for and map space debris. The development partner AlpinaTec GmbH relies on compact e-chain systems from igus for the high-precision three-axis positioning system. They ensure a reliable energy supply and the smooth guidance of a wide variety of media cables in a confined space.
