"Cutting-Edge" technology: New products and highlights for the machine tool industry
Efficiency and automation
"Lean manufacturing" describes the trend of using resources optimally, not wasting them and at the same time realising the greatest possible output. In short, it is about maximising efficiency or "lean production". Our energy chains are also developed according to this philosophy. With the E4QL energy chain for machine tools, for example, we have achieved the greatest possible stability while at the same time saving on materials. This has also enabled us to reduce costs.
For high dynamics
Energy chain with the best combination of stability and weight. Open by hand reduce assembly time by 40%.
For medium load ranges
Reliable and safe cable guide thanks to optimised sliding surfaces, integrated brake and 10% more stability than its predecessor.
Maximum stability
Compact hybrid chains (mix of plastic and steel) in the size with an inner height of 28mm and 32 mm. Now also available with an inner height of 200mm.
Swarf-resistant thanks to click fastener
Design study: The R4Q series is equipped with lids/bases and is therefore swarf-resistant. The click fastener allows installation without tools.
Certified resistance
Several of our cable series are now certified with a "UL Temperature Rating" of +90°C.
Keep an eye on service life
Thanks to the service life calculator, you always know how long our cable will last in your application. Including certificate and price check.
Fully harnessed
We supply ready-to-connect harnessed and end-tested drive cables suitable for 40 manufacturers.
Saving weight, space and costs
Cable drum with reduced maintenance requirements and optimum cable protection. Without housing, for integration into existing structures.
Quickly assembled in the linear robot system
The profile offers high rigidity, low deflection and high protection thanks to three completely closed sides.
Robust and smooth-running
These hybrid roller bearings combine the smooth operation of polymer rollers with robust plain-bearing technology to absorb loads.
Compact and lightweight
Compared to the PRT-01, the PRT-04-CP is 60% lighter, requires 50% less space and is 20% more cost-effective.
Fast and precise
Delta robot in a robust and hygienic stainless-steel design. Developed for fast and precise pick & place tasks.
Cost-effective and quick to implement
Achieve automated goods transport fast. With a load capacity of 50kg and a tensile weight of up to 100kg. Also discover the ReBeL Move Pro with a load capacity of 200kg.
Higher repeatability
The ReBeL 03 features new encoder technology for increased repeatability of +/-1mm.
Have a prototype sampled free of charge
Our sampling service provides you with customised advice and the design of e-chains, cables, linear drives and bearings. We will also show you our sensor technology for the machine tool 4.0.
4-year guarantee ...
... on all predictable products
We offer up to a 4-year guarantee on all our predictable products in the service life calculator.
Embossed films for machine beds
No more scraping. Request information now.
Embossed film is designed to replace the time-consuming scraping of your machine bed. Would you like to find out more? Just fill in the linked form and we will contact you with further information.
Do you already know our other films for sliding applications? Go to our liners.
Sustainable products
Since 2018, we have been increasingly focussing on sustainability in production and products. As a result, we now have new linear and plain bearings as well as a new energy chain made from recycled material from our own production. And our Chainge® recycling programme for end-of-life energy chains has been expanded to include an online marketplace for regranulates.

Eco linear bearing: recycled adapter for liners
Lubrication-free hybrid roller bearing with double roller
Digitalisation and networking
We are working intensively on digital transformation topics. This includes our smart plastics - i.e. our products in conjunction with intelligent sensor technology, which enable condition monitoring or predictive maintenance, for example. But it also includes many services related to the topic of "enjoyneering". This includes igus metaverse, intelligent spare parts recognition and new apps such as igus GO.
