Linear motion, linear technology, handling systems

Imagine living in a world without linear motion. Would the Egyptians have built their pyramids by bouncing the huge blocks of stone in zigzags across the desert? Or would medieval knights have charged their horses in circular movements to go into battle? Unimaginable, isn't it?

Linear motion, the proud progression in a straight line, has had a significant impact on the history of mankind. Without it, we might still be trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B efficiently without detouring through point C, D and the rest of the alphabet.

Another example is the famous scientist Isaac Newton, whose first law of motion (“A body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless forced by external forces to change its state”) was the VIP ticket for linear motion. Newton's laws of motion and the theory of gravity not only revolutionized our understanding of motion, but also paved the way for modern physics and technology.

Linear motion has taken us a long way and is therefore not only a physical principle, but also a symbol of human progress and ingenuity.

We will be happy to support you in selecting and dimensioning the right linear system for your machine.

Electromechanical linear actuators, linear axes, linear gearboxes - everything for your linear motion 

Movement is essential in mechanical engineering and linear movement has become an integral part of most applications. Due to the constantly growing automation in production and the increasing demands on machines in terms of speed, precision, output, etc., linear systems and the entire periphery of the machines must also continue to develop.

Our linear technology portfolio for industrial applications:

Linear axes & linear tables 

From a single axis to a wide variety of combinations. With toothed belt drives for highly dynamic requirements, with spindle drives for higher rigidity or positioning accuracy and rack and pinion drives for very high robustness. With our extensive portfolio combined with decades of experience, we will support you in the design and construction of your machine.

Electromechanical linear drives, actuators, adjustment systems Linear cylinders

Motorized electromechanical cylinders with trapezoidal and ball screws for industrial applications. We can realize your lifting, tilting and hoisting movements reliably and safely. A real alternative to hydraulics.

Electric lifting cylinders & Linear cylinders 

Compared to our electromechanical linear actuators, electric lifting cylinders are suitable for lighter industrial applications.

Ball screw jacks & trapezoidal screw jacks

Depending on the requirements in terms of speed, load, energy efficiency, etc., we can help select the right technology and the right worm gear screw jack for your application.

Rail guides 

Linear guides are high-quality precision parts and offer the user a wide range of products for a wide variety of applications.

From individual axes to complete systems. Together we will find the right solution for your machine.
