Modern packaging machines today have to meet a wide range of requirements. Weight, cycle frequency, acceleration, maintenance-free operation and low wear are therefore crucial factors.

Our linear guides deliver precisely these characteristics: they enable dynamic movements, ensure high process reliability and adapt flexibly to new requirements – with minimal wear and a long service life.

Do you have high demands on the load capacity of your bearing?

The raceways of the wire rings of our cross roller bearings are perfectly matched to the geometry of the rolling elements in order to make the contact area as large as possible and this increase the load carrying capacity of the bearing.

Due to the crosswise arrangement of the rollers, equally high loads can be absorbed from all directions.
