Our new products for the 2023 trends

The key topics in the packaging, food and beverage industry are diverse. In addition to food-grade products, the requirements for highly automated and digitised process chains are increasing. Sustainable products are also becoming increasingly important. We have listed our new products for the top five topics in the industry. This includes food-compliant spherical insert bearings and spherical balls, linear guides with hygienic design, chemical-resistant ball bearings, ball transfer units, and many more ... Have fun discovering them.

Safety & foodgrade

Food-grade products are designed for direct and indirect contact with food. Whether plain or spherical plain bearings, bar stock or energy chains: we have significantly upgraded our new product portfolio. Brand new in the product range is our iglidur A181 material as the new standard for spherical balls: FDA and EU10/2011 compliant, extremely low wear with stainless steel shafts and 25% more cost-effective than with the detectable spherical balls made of iglidur FC180.

Automation & digitalisation

Our product innovations in the field of gears cover a diverse requirement portfolio for a wide range of applications, from impact and wear resistance to resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. A connection to drylin drive technology and dryspin lead screw technology was also added to our Apiro gearboxes - for even more specific automation systems.

Conveyor technology & material handling

For safe energy supply on storage and retrieval units, we have an easy-to-clean e-chain system with steel cable guide in our product range with the autoglide 5, which saves 88% of installation time compared to a conventional standard solution. And with the brand-new sliding profile, it's even more cost-effective. There are new ball bearing products for conveyor technology - exceptionally robust and, as always, 100% lubrication-free.

Environment & energy

Since 2018, we have been increasingly focusing on sustainability in production and products. As a result, we are now able to specify the CO2 footprint of our iglidur plain bearings in the shop. There are also new linear and plain bearings that are made from recycled material from our own production.
