igus, Your Partner in Facing Design Challenges
Introduction
Maybe you need a part that saves space. Maybe you need a part that can handle high temperatures and requires zero maintenance. Every machine and application is different and that’s exactly why innovation matters.
At igus, we believe simple, effective solutions can solve even the most complex engineering challenges. And we’ve been proving that for over 60 years with high-performance polymer technology designed for motion.
120,000 Components. Endless Possibilities.
With over 120,000 components available, we cover a wide range of needs:
- Space-saving designs for compact systems, including e-chain® cable carriers with inner heights as small as 5 mm for tight installation spaces.
- FDA-compliant parts, like the A500 plastic bearing, that can be used in food and beverage production lines.
- Maintenance-free solutions that reduce downtime and costs, thanks to dry-running bearings and self-lubricating polymers that eliminate external grease.
These aren’t just parts. They’re engineered answers to real-world problems. Every component is tested in our 41,000 sq. ft. lab in Cologne, where products undergo 10 billion test cycles annually to ensure predictable service life and reliability.
Experience That Counts
Our territory sales managers across Canada bring over 100 years of combined experience. They understand the unique challenges engineers face and can help you find the right solution. Whether you prefer an in-person meeting, a phone call, or a web meeting, we’re ready to collaborate.
And if you need something custom? igus offers 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding services for prototypes and small batches—ideal for unique applications without minimum order requirements.
Smart Tools for Smart Engineers
Finding the right part shouldn’t be a guessing game. That’s why we offer:
- igusGO, an AI-powered app that suggests products based on your application photo. Upload a photo of your application and get started fast.
- Lifetime calculators to predict service life and optimize design decisions. These can save hours of manual calculations.
- CAD models of a large selection of our components. Get 2D or 3D models in a variety of formats.
