Dr. Tretter builds with the strategic Adoption of his long-term partner TGI its vertical range of manufacture. This strengthens the specialist for Linear Technology its position in the market. From the finishing to the manufacture of screw drives, even more precisely fitting solutions in the field of ball screw technology will be available in the future.

The know-how of the application-specific Linear Technology Solutions from Dr. Tretter GmbH in Rechberghausen and the well-founded manufacturing skills of IGT GmbH in Schwelm offer synergies for customers.

Wide range of modular rail guides

IGT specializes in hard whirling, a machining process in which the ball tracks are whirled into the already hardened and precision-ground spindle material. With hard whirling a particularly high quality of the thread can be achieved at a very good price-performance ratio. Pitch accuracies of T5 as standard and, if necessary, T3 are possible.

Highest surface quality of the raceways

Hard whirling produces the highest possible quality with high-quality primary materials Surface finish of the careers. The ball profiles of the nuts are matched exactly and precisely to the spindles. In addition, hard whirling offers high and economical flexibility with different thread sizes and thread lengths as well as with deviating thread geometries.

The precise manufacturing processes enables machining of machinable Materials and corrosion-resistant solutions. The ends are processed according to customer drawings. The ground materials make the spindles stress-relieved - an important basic requirement for accuracy.

When are trapezoidal screws better than ball screws

Special dimensions from quantity 1 and series products are offered. Applications for the hard-wired Ball Screws can be found in mechanical engineering, lifting, Measuring and testing technology or at automotive suppliers.
