This year, you can take advantage of Cyber Monday during the entire week at igus® and make a difference in the process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
