Front-loader test rig from igus tests durability of plastic versus metal19/10/2017
The igus test laboratory is 29,600 square feet, quite possibly the largest in the industry. Inside, the movements of energy chains, chainflex cables and plastic bearings are continuously assessed. The newest addition to the igus laboratory is a front-loader test rig, made specifically to mimic applications in the agricultural and construction equipment industries that handle high loads. Numerous bearing and shaft combinations are being tested outdoors under conditions mimicking real application challenges. Direct comparisons of plastic and metal bearings are also being tested. |
