The family-owned company is committed to using its innovative materials to develop creative solutions and exceed customer expectations while delivering fast, accurate service. igus’ polymer blends are used throughout its range of product lines of cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, plastic bushings, linear bearings and guides, automation solutions, and more.

igus engineers develop over 100 new polymer compounds each year for use across every product line. Each material is tested extensively in the igus test lab in Cologne, Germany. More than 10,000 tests are conducted on each material to analyze tribological properties, wear resistance and more, and all results power various online tools and an extensive material database. With this data, igus engineers can offer a precise lifetime prediction for bearings and linear systems in nearly any application.
