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 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:

Electromobility is considered a decisive factor for the energy transition and as a tried and tested means, the CO2-Brake emissions. The BMW Group is taking this development into account with its electric vehicles and celebrated the premiere of its commercial electric scooter “C Evolution” in April this year. A metric thin section bearing from Rodriguez is built into it. It takes over the storage of the belt pulley in the gear of the scooter.

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.
