Spring lets masses float
The compensation of weight forces and the generation of stroke-independent constant forces are the primary areas of application for the Magspring magnetic spring in Jung's linear technology range (JA² ).

Up and down on six legs
Suspa has developed the Movotec SMS for industrial workstations, an assembly profile with an integrated lifting system, to prevent spinal injuries and thus absences from work. The solution was tested in the Voith Turbo assembly workshop.

While some design engineers are still amazed at the vehemence with which IT technologies are pushing their way into factories, basic technologies are also changing. Take linear technology, for example: while many still regard it as a purely mechanical matter, more recent developments paint a different picture.
