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:

Manufacturers of machine tools place high demands on the built-in Ball Screws. These have to position quickly, efficiently and very precisely. Dr. Tretter has the new Axial for these demands Angular contact ball bearings of the BSBD series from NSK in the portfolio.

It is often enough to exchange a small component in a large machine and you already have yours Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) under control. This is the experience that customers of NSK. The optimal housing bearing in the right quality can save up to almost 300.000 euros a year. A new example reduces bearing failures at a manufacturer of vibrating screens. He saves 117.000 euros a year here. You can find this and other examples below:

ace10518Anyone who has ever been bandaged because of a sports injury knows how important an even and flat wrap is. The same applies to the core of a large transformer, which can weigh a few 100 t. The automated process is much faster, but also much more difficult than that done by hand. Kohls Maschinenbau GmbH installs them in their new vertical taping machines for optimal results gas springs from ACE shock absorbers.

 

 

We visited Rogriguez GmbH, manufacturer and distributor of linear technology and roller bearings, in Eschweiler. On site, managers and employees report on the economic situation, new products, plans for the future, trends and what the 'Value Added' products are all about. The best way to find out how the expansion of production is progressing and where it is going is when you join our tour of production or listen carefully at the end of the film.

Monitors, touch panels, display and operating housings are used in industrial environments in machines, systems and even commercial vehicles. Because commercially available monitor mounts reach their limits, RK Rose+Krieger has developed a flexible and adjustable system that meets the demands of the industry. The built-in also contribute to the special robustness and flexibility of this special monitor mount keypads by Heinrich Kipp work.

tretter00419The Heavy load carrying rollers von Walther Flender are used as skid conveyor elements for the transport of vehicles from the body shop to the paint shop to the vehicle assembly and must withstand high loads. Installed in it Tolerance sleeves from Dr. Tretter, which frictionally connect the pulleys for the drive with the tubes on which later the transport carriages for the vehicles run.

ggb0913GGB Bearing Technology offers two new metallic sliding materials: The sliding material GGB-CSM is made of solid solid material and the bimetallic GGB-CBM is made of a metallic bearing material with a sintered sliding layer. Both materials are self-lubricating and maintenance-free. In addition, they are designed for high load capacity, a wide temperature range and outstanding corrosion resistance.

schaefflerSchaeffler Group Industrial has recently introduced solutions for the bearing of main spindles under the FAG product brand with the high-performance RS series and the thermally robust TR cylindrical roller bearings, which in many cases also enable the bearings to be adjusted rigidly for motor spindles. As a result, parts of the surroundings are partially unnecessary and the assembly of the bearings is greatly simplified.

Rodriguez0712The precision axial-radial bearings with integrated "RTB ... AMS" measuring system from Rodriguez offer high manufacturing precision, low frictional torques and high load absorption and rigidity. With the high-precision RTB ... AMS bearings with an integrated "Amosin" measuring system, the accuracies of the optoelectronic devices can almost be achieved. This is why the bearings are particularly suitable for applications with direct drives such as rotary indexing tables and milling heads (A and C axes).

ibc0713IBC high-precision cylindrical roller bearings are used wherever high speeds, minimal friction losses, high radial loads and heat-related changes in length of the surrounding components have to be compensated. Cylindrical roller bearings with cages are suitable for absorbing very high loads in the radial direction, have a high degree of rigidity due to the linear contact between the roller and the raceway and are designed for high speeds.

nsk0114Cylindrical roller bearings are often used in large gears because this type of bearing can withstand high mechanical loads. The systems and thus also the rolling bearings often run 24 hours a day and require a high level of reliability and a long service life. NSK has developed a new series of large cylindrical roller bearings with increased load ratings, which achieve a longer service life than corresponding standard bearings.

nke0119NKE Austria presents burnished bearings with improved running-in and wear behavior. The browning also protects against environmental influences. This is a cost-effective measure for extending the service life, particularly in critical applications such as, for example, the gearboxes of wind turbines.
