Application examples
Injection-molding machine
Pivot arm in injection-molding machines mounted with plastic plain bearings: With the simple plug-in installation and the adjustable collar, it was possible to abandon the highly complex bonding mechanism.
Injection moulding tool
TheE-Chain® was installed on an injection moulding tool so thatno additional space is necessary in horizontal direction forthe unreeling movement.
Bag forming, filling and sealing machine
The crimpers in hose packaging machines often reach temperatures of 160°C and above in continuous operation.
Calibration cage in a blown film line
In conventional solutions, while cleaning, the lubricant on the bearings is washed away or the bearings are even rinsed to get rid of the dirt particles.
Measuring system for extruder
Measuring and regulating system in the area of blown film extrusion
Pillar cleaning facility
The bearings have been installed about a year ago and since then operate free of troubles in the manufacturing.
