igus dry-tech lab performs 7000 tests a year

Ensuring that all igus products live up to the company's "˜plastics for longer life' mantra, the state-of-the-art dry-tech lab performs over 7000 tests a year on energy chains and cables, as well as polymer plain bearings and linear systems.

Designed to endure the most demanding environmental conditions - from underwater applications to extreme heat - all of the igus polymer products undergo a range of stringent tests. These involve push-pull forces, friction, wear, driving forces and abrasion under widely varying conditions and speeds. Influential factors such soiling, weathering, cold and impact are also examined.

Fully compliant with ISO 9001:2008 standards, the igus dry-tech lab helps ensure all products are proven to provide designers and engineers with plastics of high quality and durability. To find out more about the variety of tests performed at the igus dry-tech lab, please watch this video: www.igus.co.uk/igusTestLab.
