Lightweight, lubrication-free, cost-effective - components for vertical farming

The fact that only a small amount of land area is required for growing fruits and vegetables is only one of the advantages of vertical farming. Conventional farmland is hereby relieved, closed systems save water, year-round cultivation and harvesting are possible. Clever aloft cultivation offers many possibilities for automation. We have the right and affordable components to equip small projects or big farms. Our energy chains and cables guide data and media safely upwards even in the smallest installation spaces, weigh little and are easy to install. Plain and linear bearings made of high-performance plastic are FDA-compliant, the modular gearbox systems are fully compatible with the linear modules and our five-axis robolink robot arm can withstand a lot of work and splash water.

Benefits of igus products:

  • FDA-compliant
  • Lubrication-free
  • Corrosion-free
  • Dirt-resistant
  • Cost-effective
  • Predictable service life
  • Lightweight
  • Quiet

Tested in the test laboratory for use in the real world

All products are tested for wear and load-bearing capacity under real conditions in the igus test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The results are fed into our tools for calculating service life and enable precise predictions to be made about durability.

On request, igus also carries out customer tests to test the use of the products under very individual conditions.
