NSK is committed to the fight against counterfeiters. In the Chinese province of Hebei, in Xintai City, more than 23,000 counterfeit packages and labels in NSK design were confiscated at the instigation of NSK.

Polymer spherical plain bearing
Heavy soiling, dust and swarf are part of everyday life for pedestal and flange bearings. With Igus injection-molded spherical caps, customers can rely on a lubricant-free and maintenance-free solution for their metal housing bearings.

Igus has developed the first intelligent bearing to detect the wear of plain bearings in good time. It warns of impending failure in good time. This allows machine and system operators to plan maintenance, repair and replacement in advance.

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.

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.

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.

ABB adapts smart sensor technology to pillow block bearings from Dodge. The aim is to avoid unscheduled downtimes and extend the service life of systems.
By switching to molded oil housing bearings, a beverage manufacturer was able to drastically reduce the premature failure of roller bearings on conveyor systems. The service life of the bearings has been extended as a result, and the user is saving more than 5,000 euros per year.
Igus has further developed its polymer ball transfer units for transport tables. The new rollers ensure a five times higher load capacity and are lubricant-free and therefore maintenance-free.
