Compact azimuth and elovation bearings for precise positioning

Sensor platforms

High-precision and rigid roller bearings and slewing rings with low and uniform rotational resistance are used for optical systems - on land, at sea and in the air.

They are specially developed for the high demands of modern optronic systems and gimbals in the defence and security sector.

Precision for small installation spaces

Compact and smooth-running lightweight bearings with high rigidity properties for optoelectronic devices, gimbals or sensor platforms. Our wire race bearings are your solution for the typical challenges in reconnaissance, target acquisition and surveillance.
