Dirt, saltwater, vibrations, extreme temperatures, high levels of mechanical stress and the risk of explosion are the most frequently occurring problems that impair the performance of drilling equipment and other devices used for oil and gas extraction. In such surroundings, where downtime is costly, the energy chains from igus® offer the performance characteristics needed to ensure smooth and continuous operation.
This year, we are launching 168 innovations. Industry Manager Tim Schneebeck will present the top news for the oil and gas industry in just two minutes. This includes the new cable package for top drive systems in the e-loop:
