At the igus booth, #2857, you will see:

· DryLin* linear slide tables are an ideal, off-the-shelf solution for low-speed motor or hand-powered applications and are built to the customer’s required stroke length. These slides have a low COF, are corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and have excellent vibration dampening.

· Iglide plastic bearings are a convenient, cost-effective alternative to bronze, metal-backed and custom injection-molded bearings. Iglide bearings are lubrication-free, dry-running and maintenance-free. They also are resistant to dirt, dust, chemicals and UV rays. Users who try an iglide plastic bearing will:

· ensure they have just the right bearing for the application; from the simple to the complex;

· receive wear predictions and life expectancies;

· lower costs; and

· eliminate maintenance.

· Energy Chain* cable carriers to house, protect and extend the service life of cables and hoses attached to automated machinery.

· Chainflex* continuous-flex cables are the perfect partner for an Energy Chain to provide a complete cable management solution.
