Energy Supply Systems for Pressing Plants

Robust and quiet at high speeds

High cycle rates, fast speeds and accelerations, strong forces, and an oily environment place significant demands on components in pressing plants. At the same time, these components must meet high performance expectations: the pressing process must run continuously and without interruption while remaining smooth, fast, and efficient.

igus® components are specifically designed for these conditions, delivering reliable performance even under demanding motion requirements.

Precise and maintenance-free bearing in rolling machine for mudguards

Steel bearings were previously used in the lifting system of the pressure roller in a rolling machine for aluminum profiles used to produce lorry mudguards. Because these bearings required constant lubrication and lacked precision, they were replaced with fully grease- and maintenance-free drylin® linear rails and iglide® plain bearings.

igus Glide Bars for Chain Conveyors

In addition to the drive and rol e-chains, the slide profile is an indispensable element of the chain conveyor. The glide bar carries the applied loads and enables a continuous drive thanks to its low coefficient of friction.

Our glide bars made from iglide bar stock are designed for the high loads imposed by car bodies, are maintenance-free and have a low coefficient of friction.
