The Vector Awards is a way for us to recognize and award the ingenuity of our customers. We want to hear about your design challenges and how igus products helped you solve those problems.

Realizing our customers needed a flexible cable solution that could withstand a variety of movements, igus® decided to design and test cable series – and chainflex® CF1 was born.

A cable lifetime guarantee based off of data from decades of extensive testing reduces the likelihood of unplanned downtime and makes it easier to plan for cable replacements.

Design News caught up with Vice President Rick Abbate to talk about why igus has invested in 3D printing, how that service benefits customers, and what the future holds for additive manufacturing.

With a large amount of motors currently on the market, not many are capable of handling submergence underwater. Discover why that is and how you can tell if a motor is suitable for underwater use.

igubal® JEM plastic insert bearings are grease-free, lightweight & self-lubricating, making them an ideal 1:1 metal bearing replacement. Learn more about the benefits and cost-savings here.

IP ratings are the the rating system of the capability of a motor with water resistance and/or dust/other debris. In layman’s terms, they rate the seal of the motor.

From linear bearings & slides to fully assembled actuators and gantries, this decision tree will help you find the linear system you are searching for.

For screw-driven linear actuators, change the lead screw’s pitch to increase speed. For example, instead of using a standard 10×2 pitch, increase it to 10×5, 10×10 or even 10×50.

Initiator cables connect control units and different sensors, or, in the case of reversal of the measurement principle, actuators.

Flame-retardant and halogen-free TPE are very robust materials that igus uses in high-end cables meant for challenging applications. But what are the differences between the two? Find out here.

Discover how effective home office cable management can maximize productivity and improve your mental health.

Have you ever wondered why most cable conductors are made of copper and not another conductive material, like silver, gold or aluminum? And what's up with gold-plated plugs? Discover the answers here.
