Energy chain applications wanted for the vector awards

The winners will be selected by an expert jury composed of members from the fields of science, specialist media and associations and will be awarded at Hannover Fair 2018. The winners of the top prize will also receive €5,000 euros. The competition is open to anyone who has novel or challenging applications with energy chains, irrespective of what branch of industry they come from.

“Even today, new and unusual applications are still being developed, often with fast speeds or complicated rotary movements,” said Justin Leonard, the-chain director, igus. “The competition also provides a unique opportunity for us to know the full capability of our products.”

Applications can be submitted online here, by filling in a simple form with a design brief and description of the energy chain application. Supporting photos and videos can also be uploaded. The closing date for entries is 23rd February 2018.
