Igus Cable carriers, Plastic bearings - Industrial Supply & Sales Türkiye

Core Product Categories

The company's product portfolio is centered on components that facilitate movement while reducing wear and maintenance requirements. Key product groups include:

• Energy Chains: Cable carriers designed to guide and protect moving energy, data, and signal cables in industrial machinery.
• Polymer Bearings: Plain bearings, spherical bearings, and linear guides manufactured from proprietary self-lubricating plastic compounds.
• Ready-to-Install Assemblies: Pre-assembled cable systems (often referred to as "readychain") and linear actuator systems.
• Low-Cost Automation: Modular robotics components, including delta robots, cobot arms, and gearboxes designed for accessible industrial automation.

Typical Industries and Applications

Igus products are utilized across a broad spectrum of sectors where mechanical movement is required. Common applications include:

• Machine Tooling: Protecting cables and providing linear motion in CNC machines and milling equipment.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Used in assembly lines, robotic arms, and vehicle-integrated components.
• Material Handling: Found in conveyor systems, cranes, and automated storage and retrieval systems.
• Packaging and Food Processing: Preferred in these sectors due to the lubrication-free nature of the materials, which minimizes contamination risks.
• Renewable Energy: Components are frequently deployed in wind turbines for pitch adjustment and cable management.
