Linear axes under control
A new type of clamping frame changing system for car production moves vehicle parts using linear axes. A malfunction in this system brings production to a complete standstill.

Iwis has added a CLA (Chain Lubrication Application) lubrication system to its portfolio. This permanently delivers lubricant to the chain drive and other components using a special applicator.

Neff has developed a new classic C-series screw jack series. According to the manufacturer, it is characterized by a special spherical casting that has a high elongation at break.

More than half of premature rolling bearing failures can be avoided with correct lubrication. With the use of Perma lubrication systems, the bearing is continuously supplied with fresh lubricant.
Lubrication of industrial rolling bearings
The aim of digitalization and networking is to achieve maximum operational efficiency through the most comprehensive automation possible. However, a company must never neglect the fundamentals of production - for example its lubrication media and techniques.

Timken Company, a provider of advanced bearings and power transmission products, announced that it has completed its recently announced acquisition of Rollon Group.

Perma lubrication systems are suitable for ensuring that conveyor belts in recycling plants do not come to an unexpected standstill due to bearing or motor damage. Their use seals the lubrication point against contamination. In this way, conveyor belts or electric motors can be reliably lubricated and downtimes avoided.

The Perma Star Vario electromechanical lubrication system ensures metering that is tailored to the lubrication point over an adjustable period of time. This prevents insufficient or excessive lubrication.
In Chodov in the Czech Republic, technology provider SKF operates a plant for the production of lubrication systems, which was opened in 2014. There, solutions from Spandau Pumpen are used to supply a modular island filter system with cooling lubricant.
