The igos movement plastic is a cost reduction for ships and Marine equipment
SMM in Hamburg, Germany, the German engineering plastics experts released the product is suitable for the shipbuilding industry: low self-esteem and strong drag chain, Germanischer Lloyd certification of cable and corrosion sliding, joints, and slewing ring bearing, applicable to many fields, shipping, offshore platform, crane, or the water or underwater application of shipyard.
Based on the principle of optimization for the customer application and reduce costs, igus SMM in Hamburg exhibition launched a range of motion of plastics products, used in mobile power supply and cable drag chain, engineering plastic bearings, etc. They are free of maintenance, lubrication, seawater, chemicals, corrosion resistant and reliable. Compared with the traditional steel materials, the performance is stronger, the weight is lighter and the price is cheaper. Components can even run high performance in high temperatures and harsh environments. The high flexibility of construction and installation has made the easy plastic drag chain and bearing the indispensable component of modern shipbuilding industry.
Certified safety: high flexible cable with GL certification
Ships and offshore platforms rely on low failure rates and low maintenance power systems. Germanischer Lloyd has successfully released mobile cable standards dedicated to ship and Marine engineering, ensuring reliability and without costly certification fees. The 348 special chainflex cables from ygus have been certified by GL. This is the world's first dedicated cable to get this certification, which has a long service life in dynamic applications. All certified cables are composite Marine standard and are kept in stock and shipped within 48 hours.
E4.350 large tow chain and rotating modules: repeated validation in Marine engineering
The world's largest plastic chain, E4.350, has been repeatedly tested in practice. The piping tower of the "Seven Waves" engineering ship was laid by the boom. In this application, the drag chain loads up to 120kg/m. Usually the extra load of E4.350 can reach up to 600kg/m, which is much lighter than the steel towing chain. Similarly, a crane from a deep-sea operating ship can be fitted with an E4.350 towing chain. Another product is to save the installation space and test the rotating module. In the north sea, the Innovation engineering ship carries out the construction of wind farm. The tower crane is equipped with double rotating module, which can reach the rotation Angle of the highest 900 degrees. The rotation Angle of the special stack design can be almost unlimited.
