Components for aerial lifts, telescopic boom platforms

Low weight and high stability: two main reasons to choose components from igus in the event of an energy chain failure in work platforms. We have the right cable carrier for every application.

Our e-chains, cables and lines as well as plastic plain bearings, linear bearings and sliding plates fulfil the tough conditions of equipment working outdoors and under continuous load and do not require any additional lubricants.

No parts can be lost due to vibrations, as energy chains do not require any screws. No rusting or jamming as they are made of plastic. Can be opened at any point and installed in a matter of minutes. High UV resistance of the cables and designed for continuous dynamic use in drag chains with a 36-month guarantee. No greasing and relubrication of bearing points, as our plain and linear bearings and sliding plates are completely maintenance and lubrication-free

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.
