Construction components: News about all kinds of machine elements

Construction components make Machine Elementsthat are built into technical constructions such as systems, machines, devices. If you are looking for the latest technology for Rotary table, spring, machine frame, standard part, brush, seal, handle, CNC component you are right here. Here you can find practically all construction components except Linear Technology, Plain bearings, roller bearings, Shock absorbers and Tools. We have separate sections for these.

Brand new construction components

You can find new developments of all other machine elements here - Optimize your construction and reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)!


Spacer made of bio-based plastic

NSK KGT spacerNSK presents a world first with the spacer element for ball screws made of 100% bio-based Plastic. Compared to a spacer element made of fossil plastic, the CO2-Footprint by 90% reduced over the entire life cycle. The developers have the bio-based high-performance for thispolyamide Ecopaxx selected by DSM. 


CO2 footprint of seals down to the gram

Freudenberg CO2As a manufacturer of low-friction seals Freudenberg Sealing Technologies live up to their responsibility for climate protection. To this end, the company has developed a method that can be used to determine the CO2 footprint from the manufacture of seals and other components.


zimmerZimmer Technische Werkstätten presents a pneumatic spring-loaded brake from the UBPS series. With the corresponding type examination certificate, the element can be used in Z-axes, among other things, in order to reliably prevent an application from slipping down.

ACE1012The "Tubus-Spezial" hold-down dampers from ACE shock absorbers have replaced their predecessors in the automotive industry as hold-down dampers in sheet metal forming within just two years. The polyurethane damping disks used up to now could not do nearly as well as they did when it comes to reshaping sheet metal parts, damping the retaining elements of hold-down devices.

The high-quality leveling castors with integrated locking feet and pivoting operating lever from Blickle are ideal for converting mobile operating equipment, transport devices and machines into stable work surfaces. The manufacturer is also showing antistatic wheels with a non-marking gray rubber coating.

haewa0316

The modular frame system "X-frame" is used to set up individual machine frames and housings. Häwa presents a new application example for the variable machine frame “X-frame”: Two standardized X-frame cells based on the same set of drawings have been developed for a special machine for the assembly of micro-optical and opto-electronic assemblies.

gutekunst10217How does a Tension spring produced, what influence do tension spring designs, eyelet shapes, spring characteristics and spring materials have and what do technical terms such as preload, relaxation, yield strength and dynamic load mean in a tension spring? This specialist article by Gutekunst Federn answers all of these questions with basic knowledge for the next spring design.

ACE10317

A few weeks ago, a beam in the Maasbracht lock that was intended for ships to approach had a big crack. A ship hit the beam with too much force. Installed as protection in the Dutch lock, the overall construction can nevertheless claim to have survived the accident well. As a precautionary measure for the lock door behind the bumper bar, special safety shock absorbers from ACE shock absorbers were used to protect the system from the worse.

tretter104171Dr. Tretter offers a wide range of standardBall Transfer Unitswith which users can effortlessly move loads of different weights and thus ensure a smooth flow of materials. From a certain number of items, the manufacturer also supplies solutions according to customer specifications. New to the range are the “Air Cargo” series ball transfer units (photo), which are significantly lighter and more resilient than competing products.

ace10218Four years of training for a competition, four years to optimize automatisms for one big goal: the Olympics. Starting processes are essential. Because a successful start often determines success and failure. With ski cross and ski jumping, two spectacular sports are currently at the start of the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. In both disciplines, solutions from ACE shock absorbers are used at German and Austrian Olympic bases for start training.

skf10318What normally happens in dry dock, SKF and the underwater repair specialist Trident Group recently dared to do in the “wet element”: For the first time, this team of experts installed a swiveling fin stabilizer of the “Type S” on a floating ship. Thanks to the successful action, the affected crusader was able to continue his journey through the Atlantic as planned.

kipp10818 Control panels, special solutions are increasingly in demand. The Heinrich Kipp factory follows this trend with the new 3D configurator, which enables an individual design of control panels. Specific values ​​are easily entered online. Production then takes place with the 3D printer.

ace10919Where fast driving, good braking is necessary. Nowadays, users of linear drives can look forward to a wide range of components and system solutions: Hydraulic damping elements such as Miniature Shock Absorbers are suitable for more sophisticated solutions, while cheaper products such as damper fulfill simpler tasks. There are solutions for practically all applications and every budget that allow even the fastest processes to run smoothly. Two practical examples of the ACE Shock GmbH make this clear.

ace11019The number of online shops and thus the volume of parcels and parcels is increasing. In 2018 there were 330 million deliveries in Germany at Christmas, according to the Federal Association of Parcel and Express Logistics. Sorting systems have to cope with such quantities and above all with peak times. The sorters run at high speeds and must not lose any packages. The new high-end system from Equinox does this with miniature shock absorbers from ACE shock absorbers.
