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.

Brand new machine elements

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:

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.

rodriguez0719High 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.

Tretter1018If 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.

rodriguez0418Thousands of people are currently experiencing a great show every day in large concert stadiums: machine elements from Rodriguez contribute to this: A well-known set designer from Great Britain installs robust slewing rings from Eschweiler in the stage technology of internationally known artists. The high quality and the quick availability of the products score particularly well.

Rodriguez has a customized one as part of its value added products Flange bearing for the Optoelectronics developed. Such customer-specific system solutions are particularly small and light due to the limited installation space and require special packaging. The individual flange bearing is used in an optical scanner that measures buildings, for example.

static sealAn static seal for large plants in industry or Energy Technology often have to last a good twenty years. Previously used calculation tools meant that the components were often larger than was necessary. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has now developed a method that takes material changes into account at the molecular level. This increases reliability with less material.

mapal1118Multi-bladed reamers are the tool of choice when high cutting rates and short machining times are required. Due to the limitations of conventional manufacturing processes, it has not been possible with steel base bodies to distribute the coolant specifically to all effective points of the tool. Thanks to additive manufacturing, Mapal has succeeded in reshaping the coolant supply and the coolant outlet shape and optimally adjusting it to friction machining.

Radial-axial bearings are usually completely assembled and screwed axially onto a surface, as is usually the case with polymers Rotary table bearings (PRT) of Igus. Due to a customer request, the Plasticspecialist has now developed a divisible "Iglidur PRT" so that its special construction could be implemented in an uncomplicated manner.

Igus rotary table bearings

Igus0317The lubrication and maintenance-free polymer rotary table bearings (PRT) from Igus are preferably used in systems in which great robustness and resilience are required. The plastics specialist has developed the intelligent "Isense PRT" so that the bearing does not fail and the system does not come to an unplanned standstill. This uses a sensor to measure the abrasion of the bearing and indicates a necessary replacement in good time.
