Products for the woodworking industry

Find product solutions easily according to application type

igus® plastic solutions for moving applications in woodworking machinery are designed to streamline installation, handling and overall throughput. With dry‑running, swarf‑resistant components available from a single source, time‑consuming maintenance can be significantly reduced. In environments filled with dust and swarf, tightly sealed igus® energy supply systems ensure reliable, protected movement of cables, hydraulic lines and pneumatic hoses in woodworking machines and CNC processing centres.

Dry‑running linear guides, plain bearings and ball bearings operate completely without lubrication or maintenance, making them an ideal choice for modern woodworking equipment.

Your benefits at a glance:

Lubrication‑free and maintenance‑free operation
Ready‑to‑install energy supply systems
