A high level of reliability must be guaranteed for large-diameter bearings - after all, components with an outer diameter of up to 6,100 millimetres and a weight of up to 20 tons can only be replaced with great effort.

Dampers for luggage compartments
Suspa has developed dampers with overload protection for overhead compartments in passenger aircraft. The Softline dampers are already in use in almost 300 aircraft from a major aircraft manufacturer.

The electric linear modules from Afag enable flexible positioning and measuring in the handling process. The electric slides are an essential component for this. Afag has expanded the series.
Today, JA2by Wilhelm Jung presents itself as a system integrator of mechatronic automation solutions based on highly dynamic linear motor systems. The company started out 30 years ago as a supplier of purely rotary drive components.

The new friction joints from Fath work with a fixed friction torque that prevents the swivel arm from dropping undesirably. As a result, vertical swiveling is now also possible, according to the manufacturer.
Supermarkets also offer direct home delivery. One of them had RM Customs build a small series of e-trikes to slow down traffic jams and help protect the environment. Brake cylinders from ACE are installed for comfort and safe steering.

Ball screws for the aerospace industry
The Swiss thread specialist Eichenberger manufactures three ball screw drives for space travel: from 2020, couplings are to be made between the ISS and the reusable space glider "Dream Chaser".
Special ovens are required for the production of silicon wafers. The furnaces are loaded by a fully automated, software-controlled unit. To prevent manufacturing errors and damage, the linear modules and rotary table of the loading unit are protected by machine elements from ACE.

Igus has developed a new rotary table bearing series for medium loads for fast rotary movements in confined spaces. The slewing rings are maintenance-free and wear-resistant, 50 percent smaller in height and 60 percent lighter.

The FTX215, the fourth and final size in Exlar's FTX actuator series, is now available. Forces of up to 178 kilonewtons can be achieved. The flexible motor mounting concept increases availability and reduces costs.

The chain links of the new E4Q energy chain from Igus have a "creek pebble" design to reduce weight and a new opening bar concept with locking tabs. These ensure that the series can be opened and closed in seconds without tools.
The LKE series: electrical clamping elements for profile rail guides. With more than four thousand products and over twenty years of development and market experience, Zimmer is a leader in linear technology and in the field of clamping and braking on profile and round shaft guideways.

Ball screw drives play an important role in drive technology; the main area of application is machine tools, such as machining centers, on which workpiece or tool carriers are to be positioned.

RK Rose+Krieger will be showcasing innovations in connection, linear and profile technology at the Hannover Messe: height-adjustable versions of the double and telescopic monitor support arms will be presented for the first time.

Igus motion plastics continues to grow. The company increased its turnover by 8.5 percent in 2018. The plastics specialist is showcasing 120 innovations at the Hannover Messe.

Thin section bearing from Rodriguez
Design as light and space-saving as possible: This maxim has applied in mechanical engineering for many years. In Hanover, Rodriguez will be exhibiting thin-section bearings that solve problems in applications with tight installation spaces and extreme weight requirements.

The more complex and efficient production becomes, the more important it is that linear and ring guides, for example, function perfectly and can be optimally adapted to the requirements of the production cell.

Gripping, lifting, positioning, setting down: The basic work process in pick-and-place applications is always the same. However, the requirements that plant manufacturers and their customers place on drives and grippers are different.

Bosch Rexroth presents the ready-to-install FMB and FMS function modules. They can be used universally and meet the dynamic and accuracy requirements of 80 percent of all applications with a toothed belt drive or ball screw drive.
