Lubrication-free and maintenance-free components for movement in laboratory equipment

Whether microtomes, centrifuges, cappers and decappers, analysis systems or pipetting robots: measuring and analysis devices as well as machines for sample handling in medical diagnostics are characterised by increasing automation and a design that is both highly dynamic and compact.

Our linear axes and motors, energy chains, gears, lead screw systems, plain bearings and 3D-printed parts are therefore designed for maximum speed with a long service life. What makes our bearing technology special is the lubricants embedded in the plastic, which allow dry, clean operation without external lubrication and without maintenance. The bearings are very durable, precise and low-friction. Our lightweight, compact e-chains ensure safe cable guidance, even in tight installation spaces.

Filling system for reaction vessels

Absolute precision and reliability were essential for the feeds in this filling plant. Today, the customer relies on drylin lead screw technology, which impresses with a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and optimum glide surfaces.

Highest precision in DNA diagnostics

This device for DNA diagnostics detects mutations in genetic material. For precise positioning of the glass plates with DNA samples over a heat exchanger, the customer relies on a drylin lead screw system with motor.
