Our E-Chain Systems (or Energy Chains) are like the umbilical cords of modern machines. They supply the energy (electric, hydraulic and pneumatic), digital data and signals, and have been used in an endless array of applications, from plant machinery and production lines, to robotic machines and TV studio equipment. Because they are of a modular construction, our Energy Chain systems are easily configured and installed into virtually any arrangement, meaning our customers can save vital floor space. Resistant to wind, weathering, dirt and chemicals, our E-Chain systems can be used in almost any environment.

ReadyChains are our Plug-and-Play version of the E-Chain System. That means they're ready to install as pre-assembled units. A fine-tuned logistics system allows us to supply them on a guaranteed date, within 3-10 days, almost anywhere in the world. You determine the degree of harnessing, the size, and the travel length, and we'll come up with the solution, complete with all the cables and hoses, patch plugs, inner partitions, connecting elements and connecting parts that you need. The ReadyChain system is incredibly versatile and interchangeable, allowing you to respond the economic conditions of your sector. To find out more, just follow this link to our website.

We're extremely confident about the tricks and innovative features of the Chainflex cable design, which has been developed to eradicate the problems that have plagued automation technology for nearly 30 years. Guided cable systems often fail because of 'corkscrews' and core ruptures which can bring the entire production process to a standstill – downtime can be extremely costly. Igus has come up with a quality cable solution; a strain-relieving centre, a bundled stranding arrangement, a gusset-filled extruded inner jacket, an enclosed shield braid, optimized shield braiding angle, and a gusset-filled extruded outer jacket. Factories throughout the world are benefitting from our innovative Chainflex cables.

Our Invis power module kits consist of seven components: the feeder module, the M-Pick-up, the flat pickup, the compensation, the loop line, the feed line and the terminal box. These systems offer contactless, insensitive and quiet inductive energy transmission. The modular design enables the cost-effective selection of standard parts which may be assembled in line with the individual requirements of the customer. A unique design makes cornering, endless circular motions, and even the ascent and descent of slopes possible. These power module kits can also simultaneously supply several consumers from the loop line.

Our Iglidur bearings require no lubrication and very little maintenance, whist also improving service life. Manufactured from special polymers, these ingenious bearings have been tried and tested to work in even the most abrasive and frictional applications. In addition to being highly resistant wear, Iglidur bearings can reach temperatures of up to 250°C without fail. They can be used in a wide range of machinery and equipment, including welding plant, screwdrivers, mounting devices, cranes, conveyors, food processing plant, and much more.

Igubal is an innovative system of self-aligning spherical bearing elements made from high-performance polymers. They are extremely easy to mount, and are suitable for all angular variations. The specially developed polymer materials have outstanding vibration dampening properties, and are also entirely resistant to corrosion, meaning they can be used in liquids and chemicals. Because they require no lubrication, Igubal bearings are also ideal for dusty or dirty environments. To top it all off, they are completely maintenance-free, saving you time and money over the course of their lifetime.

These are our range of lubrication-free and maintenance-free linear bearings, available in four unique varieties. Rugged and insensitive to water, dirt, chemicals, impact and extreme temperatures, DryLin bearings glide rather than roll. This means they are extremely quiet. Other advantages include a high static load capacity, low magnetism, and low coefficients of friction.To find out more about our DryLin Bearings, or any of the products that we offer, please head directly to the Igus UK website, where you'll find technical information, application examples, and a full catalogue detailing the benefits of our exceptional designs.
