Smart machine elements for your efficient construction

Are machine elements Construction componentsthat are not only contained in machines, but rather can be found in every technical construction. Often they are as inconspicuous as they are important at the same time. If, for example, a seal fails, it can have a major impact on the entire machine or system. We'll bring you the latest Machine Elements before how Rolling and plain bearings, Linear Technology, Shock absorbers, shafts, Tools, Springs, seals, Controls and much more.

The calculation of the machine elements is increasingly done online today. In our section Configuration you will find numerous innovations of such tools. Or go straight to our service area. There you will find apps and tools for machine elements, which often make your design or shopping easier for you online, much like Amazon. exceptions like Fasteners with z. B. Screws can be found in the department Connection Technology, Couplings, Brakes and Drive Elements in the field of drive technology. 

Machine elements for special industries

Special industries like Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, Microsystems Technology require specially designed developments and knowledge. Here we introduce you to the latest machine elements for these applications. 

  • A product development that makes everyday life easier for many people is the best reward for the designer. A prime example of this is the Rollikup wheelchair coupling from Teuto Inserv gGmbH. First developed on behalf of a wheelchair user, the coupling, which is as simple as it is ingenious, has developed into a successful product. Leave trailers, suitcases and much more...
  • Frenzelit offers a molded part made from the Novaform fiber gasket that prevents galvanic corrosion. It galvanically decouples surfaces from metals in vehicles. The molded part is a cost-effective and effective alternative to common corrosion protection such as painting.  
  • In 2005, elastic point bearings made from Getzner Synodyn were installed to protect the cinemas in the famous Grandberry Mall in Tokyo from disturbing noise and vibrations. According to long-term measurements, the vibration isolation still works almost unchanged 15 years later. And so, after the temporary closure of the area, Getzner received the order to do that too...
  • The drive unit for a special vacuum application in semiconductor production consists of an internally toothed stainless steel ball slewing ring with the dimensions 1230 mm x 1091 mm x 27,5 mm including a mounting plate and drive pinion. Rodriguez supplies this assembly from a single source as part of its customer-specific system solutions, Value Added Products.   

Machine elements for machines and systems

In the past, machine elements were exclusively mechanical components which, when put together in a construction, resulted in assemblies. Today, the individual components in mechanical engineering do not stop at Industry 4.0. In the mechanical elements more and more electronics or Measurement Technology a. The smart rolling bearing or the profile rail guide with path measurement lead to more intelligence in the machine elements. These are the new features:

Franke has its in the course of miniaturization Wire race bearings of the LER type around the bearing element LER 1.5 im Miniature format added. It offers the most space-saving installation space in the competition for the small, compact and lightweight Rolling. The new wire race bearing also scores in terms of preload.

kipp0718With the clamping stop for groove profiles, the Heinrich Kipp factory is introducing a practical market innovation: The spring-loaded threaded bolt prevents annoying tilting and makes it easier to move the stop. The flexible positioning element with M6 thread is suitable for different areas of application.

kitz30518In addition to its conveyor technology modules for feeding and linking, the MK Technology Group also presents its system solutions for workpiece transport. The focus is on the modular transfer system "Versamove" and the accumulating pallet circulation system "SPU 2040". A selection of belt conveyors and, for the first time, the efficient flat top conveyor systems from Emma will also be shown.

bahr0317Bahr Modultechnik presents a newly developed system structure for 3D printers for FFF / FDM printing of large-format objects using the melt layer process. Due to the optimized modular construction principle, the CLLK 60 tripod proves to be an extremely economical solution compared to the market.

An Igus linear guide is often an alternative to the conventional one linear guide, because it works entirely without lubricants. Therefore, it is maintenance-free and thanks to the used plastics the robust linear technology offers many more advantages such as low-noise operation, insensitivity to dirt, water or vibration. Below you will find the New Products the high-percentage saver:

ACE103172With an outer diameter of 17 mm, a stroke of 7 mm and a weight of only 40 g, the "Tubus" structural damper type TA17-7 is not one of the heavyweights of the damping solutions from ACE shock absorbers. This is precisely why Lisco values ​​it as a versatile, easy-to-install component for the effective protection of its high-quality linear axis systems.

There are only a few all-electric ones so far Tool changer on the market, mostly pneumatic ones are used here. The electric ones already on offer only cover the area of ​​small mechatronic ones grab away. Since the trend here too is 'exchange Pneumatics due to Electrics' does not stop at further development Gimatic electrical Tool changer included in the program. this as well hand-operated novelties and a case study from the 3D concrete printing can be found below:

Igus also calls it "Slip dry“: The storage of shafts or axles in the Linear Technology and Drive Technology. As with all camps, the principle of action is basically between the two types Sliding and rolling bearings distinguished. While ball bearings are often still preferred as the measure of all things, thanks to innovative high-performance plastics there is an ever-increasing number of applications which Linear bearings speak.

The production of large-sized parts such as the fuselage structures of an aircraft often requires “millimetre work” from the assembly device. The cross tables from Rodriguez help in the production of the Aircraft parts consider Premium Aerotec helping to ensure such precision during assembly. Integrated into the hall floor, the cross tables move the entire assembly station.

With a fully automatic machine in modular design Philip Hafner, which takes on measuring, assembly and labeling tasks, among other things, are the new ones Lifting rotary modules from Dr. Tretter for use. These carry out linear, rotary and positioning movements in a compact unit. Because the designers can build extremely slim, the machine works very dynamically. Users achieve fast clock speeds and high energy efficiency.

Tech-savvy Startups are more daring than other companies to convert emerging technologies into new, marketable products. So has too Fabmaker developed a 3D printer for the school and training sector. However, when selecting the functional elements and components that they install in their “educational printer”, the employees around managing director Dean Ćirić rely on industry-proven components Igus.

The Russian company Movikom develops and implements innovative robot systems as well as mechatronic solutions for special cameras. The high-tech experts installed a track-based camera system along the soccer field in a Minsk stadium. Robust, reliable Linear Technology from Rollon gets the camera truck moving and enables shake-free shots of the highest quality.
