Solutions for automation and robotics

With increasing digitalization, automation is advancing even faster. In robotics, backlash-free, precise movements are required. When linking individual work steps, it is essential to avoid downtimes. Here, the reliability and service life of the systems play a decisive role. In both cases, it is the details, or rather your components such as the bearings, that make the difference.

It is good that we know your application very well. We will be happy to advise you in detail on the configuration of your ball bearings.

Typical applications

Robotics and wave generators

Depending on the axis of motion, the installation space in robot arms becomes smaller and smaller. Nevertheless, the load carrying capacity or rigidity must not suffer as a result. Thin-walled deep groove or angular contact ball bearings are ideal for such an installation environment. For example, so-called flex bearings with rings of different widths are used in shaft gear units. In operation, an elliptical disc elastically deforms the ball bearing to produce backlash-free and precise motion.

Or do you need a versatile solution with maximum rigidity for your industrial robot? Then we recommend one of our crossed roller bearings. Available with split inner or outer ring on request. Gladly adapted to all further needs of your application.

Conveyors and food industry

When it comes to production machines and their interlinking, the entire system is only as good as the weakest link in the process chain. Compromises in terms of service life or reliability are therefore out of the question. For your ball bearings, we recommend a high-performance seal to minimize grease leakage and dust or splash water ingress.

To prevent corrosion, stainless steel bearings are standard in the food industry. The sealing material must be DEHP free and we offer multiple food grade grease options. Our experts will be happy to advise you on the optimal materials suited for your application.
