Application examples of drive technology

Would you like to know where igus drive technology is used? Here you will find customer applications from the real world, sorted by industry.

Special measuring setup with lead screw axes

Innovative, cost-effective and cleanroom-compatible solutions are required for research and development in the field of sustainability. Our lubrication-free linear drives, in combination with a motor and control system, provide a cost-effective, turnkey solution.

Go to application
Robotic setup for an art application on a workbench.

3D printer for concrete l Lubrication-free solution in a dusty environment

The use of cement in 3D concrete printers creates a high dust load that the products must be able to withstand. Furthermore, the longest possible service life and fast maintenance are required. Our bearing solutions and lubrication-free linear drives ensure a long service life despite the dirt load.

Go to application
A 3D printer builds a large curved wall at an outdoor construction site.

Electric drive technology in an automated positioning system

In contrast to the familiar recirculating ball bearing systems, drylin linear plain bearings operate on sliding elements. This application overview shows you a wide range of applications for maintenance-free linear drives from the drylin product range.
