Efficient intralogistics requires components that are compact, lightweight and durable – while also ensuring maximum dynamics, precision and maintenance-free operation. Systems for internal material flow often operate continuously and under changing loads. Roller bearings and linear guides must therefore function reliably, even at high accelerations, short cycle times and limited installation space.
Franke wire race bearings and aluminium linear guides meet these requirements to a particular degree. They combine lightweight construction and robustness with high rigidity and adaptability – individually designed for transport, conveyor and handling systems in modern intralogistics.
High dynamics
AGVs, shuttles and storage and retrieval machines move at high accelerations and short cycle times. Start-stop cycles and changes of direction require smooth-running, low-vibration components with minimal friction torque.
High load capacity
In many applications, radial, axial and tilting forces act simultaneously. Compact designs with high rigidity ensure the required precision even with eccentric loads and tight installation spaces.
Challenging environments
Dust, moisture and temperature fluctuations are part of everyday life. Corrosion-resistant materials, enclosed raceways and lifetime-lubricated systems ensure reliable operation with minimal maintenance.
Energy efficiency
In battery-powered electric vehicles, every gram and every reduction in friction counts. Lightweight aluminium components and optimised raceways contribute directly to energy efficiency and range.
Reliable continuous operation
Intralogistics systems operate around the clock. This calls for durable, fail-safe bearing and guide solutions that deliver consistent performance throughout their entire life cycle.
