Common Challenges in Industrial Motion Systems

In continuous-motion applications such as CNC machines, robots, conveyors, and cranes, power and signal cables are exposed to repeated bending, twisting, and tensile stress. Without proper cable selection and guidance, this can lead to jacket wear, conductor breakage, and premature cable failure.

Traditional metal bearings and bushings may also require periodic lubrication and may not be suitable for applications exposed to moisture, dust, or environments where lubricant use should be minimized.

igus Solutions Supplied by AVA

igus develops polymer-based motion solutions, including e-chain® cable carriers, chainflex® cables, iglide® plain bearings, and drylin® linear technology.

• e-chain® – Guides and protects cables and hoses in moving applications while maintaining the required bend radius.
• chainflex® – Cables designed for continuous motion and repeated bending applications.
• iglide® – Polymer plain bearings designed to reduce friction and support low-maintenance, lubrication-free operation in many applications.
• drylin® – Dry-running linear guides and drive solutions for applications requiring low maintenance.

These solutions help reduce maintenance requirements, minimize the use of lubricants, and improve the reliability of industrial motion systems, depending on the specific application and operating conditions.

AVA supplies igus products and provides technical support to help select the right solution for each industrial application.Related products
