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:

To compensate for tolerances in Tenths of a millimeter Area and even below it George Martin One-layer, multi-layer or peelable shims. When using such fitting elements, the most important thing is to make the right selection in order to make the assembly processes efficient. For example, with the precision Shims the laminum and lamivario series setting the Rolling Optimize preload.

Igus operates the world's largest test laboratory for plastics in moving applications in Cologne. Over 12.000 tribological tests alone are carried out here every year. This also includes tests that examine the use of a wide variety of materials in a wide variety of environments in real tests. During the salt water test on a "Xiros" Flanschkugellager and a metal bearing has convinced the Xiros bearing through the use of lubrication and maintenance-free tribo-plastics.

For the lubrication-free bearing of shafts and rails Igus GmbH, Cologne, offers an extensive range of polymer plain bearings for rotary and lifting movements. The tribologically optimized plastics can also be used for longitudinal movements, among other things. As "Dry Lin" sliding plates for girders of all kinds, up to 2 t can be slowly and dynamically moved, for example steel girders or aluminum floor plates. With four plates, this corresponds to the weight of an African bull elephant.

The demand for packaged beverages is increasing. To ensure that the different sized glass and PET bottles are handled quickly and reliably, so-called clamping stars play an important role in the complex beverage bottling lines at Krones AG. They are exposed to very high loads, especially in the upper power range. Ever since they started using the two-component plastic rollers Igus GmbH have been equipped, their service life has almost doubled.

A special focus of Dr. Tretter form the torque ball sockets. These high-precision drive elements for torque transmission with simultaneous translational movement can be installed in the smallest of spaces. The ball rolling element is used in these drive elements, which takes over the transmission between the ball bushing and the shaft with ground grooves. Torque ball bushings are used in a similar way to spline shafts.
