Kocurek Excavators Ltd chooses igus energy chains and heavy-duty bearings

UK-based original equipment manufacturer of excavator equipment implemented igus® energy chain systems across more than 120 telescopic boom installations worldwide. The energy chains provide a controlled environment for routing hoses and electrical looms, ensuring consistent movement during extension and retraction.

"We are always impressed by the lightweight, high strength product we're using. We have tried multiple competitors of the igus energy-chain but have always returned to work with igus." - David Kocurek, Founder & Director.

Cable routing for telescopic XXL semi-trailer

Goldhofer AG  has presented a concept for an extra-long, 5-fold telescopic trailer for the transport of oversized wind turbine blades. Three energy chains from the E4 series are used for the safe and stable guidance of the heavy cable packages.

Bearings for reliable tipping mechanism for Librelato S.A

iglidur® plain bearings ensure a reliable tilting mechanism in the Librelato S.A . lorries. They replace the previously used bronze bearings, which were constantly clogged with dirt and dust and had to be regularly maintained and greased.

Clever solution for extremely stressed dumpers

Together with AUSA , we have developed a solution that makes it possible to turn and steer the driver's seat of a dumper truck.

Slewing ring bearings for the production of thermal walls

The company EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH  needed a special 3D head for the attachment of a high-pressure water jet nozzle, which should not be able to be inserted vertically but also at an angle to the insulation panel. This was realised with the help of our iglidur® slewing ring bearings.
