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.
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.
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:
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.
telescopic rails are essential elements in a variety of applications, from kitchen pullouts to industrial machinery. With telescopic extensions, movement systems can be expanded seamlessly and efficiently. This saves space on one side and makes access easier on the other. Discover New Products, the versatility and technical advantages of the extendable guide systems from various manufacturers.
With a standardized rail guide from the modular system of Dr. Tretter positioning systems can be implemented economically. To the miniature portfolio linear guides and C profile rail joins the new Wide rail guide TW with ECO properties. This not only saves space, it is also easy on the wallet.
Discover the world of spindle bearing from Schaeffler, the market leader in storage technology. Whether for high-speed applications or tough industrial conditions. The automotive and industrial supplier offers a wide range of spindle bearings that have proven themselves in terms of durability and precision. Machine performance can be increased with these innovative spindle bearings.
Nils Knepper, Product Manager modular PLC / software, Mitsubishi Electric Europe BV, Ratingen, is presenting a manual workstation that can be used to implement zero-error assembly based on the manufacturer's products.
High rigidity, large payloads and extremely precise concentricity: These features combine the RTB bearings from Rodriguez, which were specially designed for use in rotary, positioning and indexing tables as well as for supporting milling and drilling spindle heads.
If a company uses them to manufacture the components built into its own products, this is probably the best reference. Among other things, all plastic parts that are built into the 3D printers from HM-3D are produced on them. For the high guidance accuracy, durability and light construction of the devices, the manufacturer relies on guidance components from Dr. Tretter or aluminum linear technology.
