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.

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:

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.

An 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.

Multi-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.

The 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.

Global competition does not stop at South Africa and calls for increasing automation. In the course of this, Bowler Plastics automated two Arburg injection molding machines, thus ending the monotonous manual closing of plastic caps for food or cosmetic bottles. Thanks to the gripper systems and the automatic lid closing machine from Gimatic, this monotonous, labor-intensive activity is now a thing of the past.

There are different chuck for processing workpieces on a machine, including power chucks, jaw chucks or eccentric chucks. They all have in common that they either die Tools such as drills or milling cutters. Or they clamp the ones to be machined as a so-called lathe chuck workpieces on the machine. We present new developments like that here lathe chuck with optimized power transmission, which Röhm will present at the AMB 2022.
