improve what moves with motion plastics

​The benefits of our products are as individual as your requirements. They all have one thing in common, whether they to do with bearing technology or energy supply systems: they are intended to improve technology and reduce costs in the process.Unique to us is certainly the prediction of the service life of our products and the free online tools, with which the service life can be calculated.

Where did we get the data?  From our test laboratory, which is also unique in the industry with a size of 3,800 m² and around 15,000 annual tests. And from our customers, who give us valuable information for development with their requirements and feedback. More and more of our products are also available as smart plastics, where the material condition can be monitored and a possible replacement can be notified in good time.​

Bearing technology - self-lubricating and durable

Our materials and technology designs are diverse: high temperature, food­grade, high load, UV and chemical resistant, plain bearings, linear technology, self-aligning bearings, gears, lead screws, 3D printing, automation and more. The core of our developments is friction optimisation. All material mixtures are improved with filler and solid lubricants so that low friction values are achieved and no external lubrication is necessary. There are no lubrication intervals for trouble-free operation. Our technology runs without maintenance interruption for as long as conditions permit. And since our materials are tailored to many conditions, this can be a very long time compared to other materials.

Pre-filled cable carriers with cables or
pre-assembled with connector options

The best bearing technology cannot show what added value it brings if the machine does not run at all - because it does not get any energy. Data cables, power cables and cables with media are neuralgic points of a machine, the cause of a failure can often be found here. Our cable carriers and the cables optimised for movement have been developed to prevent failures and enable long service life. They are available as complete ready-to-install systems or as single parts.

Low Cost Automation

Low cost automation Automate small and large applications in the service sector or large-scale industry, as simply and cost-effectively as possible: This was the idea behind our Low Cost Automation. Articulated arm robots, delta robots for pick & place applications, and linear robots with flexible, modular deployment are to allow entry into the automated factory.

Custom Parts Services

3D printing Print convincing 3D models quickly: With this goal in mind, we not only have developed our own 3D printing filaments made of abrasion-resistant plastics, but also support the design of 3D printers with compact, durable energy chains and linear plain bearing technology that requires no lubrication or maintenance. They are complemented by our online 3D printing service.

IoT & Industry 4.0

smart plastics Equipping products such as cable carriers, cables, and storage technology with sensors enhances system planning reliability. We call these intelligent products "smart plastics". With condition monitoring or predictive maintenance recommendations, these digitalised products avoid expensive application failures, saving time and money.
