When you're designing elevated rides, every moving cable matters.

From vertical lifts to observation towers, reliable cable management is critical for keeping power and data flowing safelyโ€”without adding unnecessary maintenance headaches. That's why engineers turn to solutions designed specifically for continuous motion, harsh weather, and long service life.

chainflex cables are built and tested for dynamic applications, helping reduce wear, improve reliability, and support uninterrupted ride operation in demanding amusement environments.

See how the right cable can help keep your next ride moving smoothly: https://bit.ly/4uOuPJC

Compressed air has powered manufacturing for decadesโ€”but is it still the most efficient option?

As automation systems demand greater precision, lower energy consumption, and reduced maintenance, more manufacturers are replacing pneumatic cylinders with electric linear motion systems.

In our latest blog, we explore how electric actuators can help:
โœ” Reduce energy costs and compressed air waste
โœ” Improve positioning accuracy and repeatability
โœ” Lower maintenance requirements
โœ” Create quieter, cleaner machine designs
โœ” Deliver long-term ROI in high-cycle applications

If you're evaluating ways to improve packaging, assembly, material handling, or medical equipment performance, it may be time to rethink your motion system strategy.

Are you choosing linear bearings based on performance requirements or simply following convention?

For years, recirculating ball bearings have been the default choice for linear motion applications. But in environments where contamination, washdowns, maintenance demands, noise, or weight are major concerns, that default choice may not be the best one.

Self-lubricating polymer sliding bearings offer a different approach โ€” eliminating the need for grease while providing reliable performance in challenging operating conditions. From food processing and medical equipment to robotics and automation, these systems can help reduce maintenance, improve uptime, and simplify machine design.

In our latest blog, we explore:
โœ” The key differences between sliding and rolling linear motion systems
โœ” Common friction myths that influence bearing selection
โœ” Where polymer sliding bearings outperform traditional ball bearings
โœ” How to determine the right technology for your application

Before specifying your next linear motion system, it may be worth taking a second look at the bearing technology you're using.

Not every rotary application needs the same slewing ring.

From high-load indexing tables to lightweight pivots and ultra-tight installation spaces, each igusยฎ PRT series is built for a different set of priorities.

This section of the new PRT Slewing Ring Guide makes it easier to compare your options:

โ€ข PRT-01 for maximum load capacity and durability
โ€ข PRT-02 for lightweight, economical designs
โ€ข PRT-05 for simple, low-cost rotation
โ€ข PRT-06 for ultra-flat installation spaces
โ€ข Material, housing and configuration options for each series

Find the PRT slewing ring that fits your application.

How much space is cable storage costing you?

For many facilities, cable stockrooms slowly become crowded with bulky reels, tangled wire, and hard-to-manage inventory. The result? Wasted space, slower maintenance response times, and unnecessary frustration when critical cable is needed.

chainflex CASE offers a different approach.

Store, transport, dispense, and reorder motion cables from a compact, organized system designed to reduce clutter and simplify inventory management. No oversized reels. No wasted floor space. Just easier access to the cables you need, when you need them.

See how manufacturers are transforming cable storage from chaos to organization.
