Fibre composite bearings for high loads

Carry high loads without additional lubrication. Unlike conventional steel bearings, the TX heavy-duty bearings consist of a robust fibre composite in the outer shell and a sliding-optimised and self-lubricating material on the inside. This combines the advantages of durability and freedom from maintenance. Complex maintenance measures and inadequate lubrication are a thing of the past.

The benefits at a glance

✅ Save costs: No lubrication

✅ Save time: No regular maintenance

✅ Save on downtime: No inadequate lubrication

✅ Save nerves: Tested in the lab and in practice

Energy chain for long travels

The P4HD roller energy chain was developed for the next generation of container cranes. Thanks to the principle of "rolling instead of sliding", friction is minimised, resulting in optimum chain movement even in combination with high loads and long travels. For particularly long trolley travels, sensor modules monitor the condition of the chain or cables and ensure safe operation.

The benefits at a glance

✅ Save costs: Save 57% on drive power

✅ Save time: Low maintenance effort

✅ Save on downtime: Condition monitoring

✅ Save nerves: In use worldwide

Smart moving end
The FTA with sensor technology measures the width of the guide trough without contact during operation to detect changes in the trough setting for greater availability and less downtime.

chainflex and PTFE
chainflex cables do not use PTFE. If a general ban is announced, no cables will need to be replaced.

All-round service - the superwise failure protection
The superwise service provides customers with concrete information on the service life of their energy chains. To do this, the system accesses a broad application database, calculates the correct inspection times and contacts the igus sales department in maintenance cases.
