A one stop solution - the SCHNEEBERGER ball screws completes our product portfolio

NEW ball screws from SCHNEEBERGER

The new SCHNEEBERGER ball screws impress with their precision and performance, to which above all the ground and hardened ball contact surfaces contribute. Thus, the SCHNEEBERGER ball screws are equally suitable for use at high and low speeds as well as oscillating short-stroke movements. This makes them particularly interesting for demanding applications in machine tools and measuring and testing technology.

MONORAIL AMS - GUIDING & MEASURING as an integrated system solution

When space constraints and performance are required for distance measurement, MONORAIL AMS is the answer. SCHNEEBERGER integrates a measuring head and scale onto its MONORAIL profiled linear guideways. In brief: Integrated AMS distance measuring systems from SCHNEEBERGER are machine-compatible with integrated distance measuring systems in ready-to-install quality, suitable for a wide range of applications in mechanical engineering and automation.

The maximum one-piece profile rail length for all AMS distance measuring systems is 6 meters. For the analog systems, however, several MONORAIL guideways can be combined as required. Thanks to the special design of the rail joints, in combination with the AMSA 3L read head, joints can be traversed, and any lengths of measuring axes can be constructed.

MONORAIL carriages are equipped as standard with twin-lipped cross wipers on the ends and top and bottom longitudinal wipers. Together with additional sealing of the gaps between the front plate and the steel body, these provide an exceptionally efficient sealing system. The ingress of dirt is therefore effectively prevented and lubrication losses are reduced to a minimum, which results in a significant increase in service life.

SCHNEEBERGER gear racks - Special is our standard!

The standard length of a gear rack is usually 1000 mm. During assembly, these are installed one after the other. This inevitably leads to tolerances that are reflected in the form of a pitch error, which in turn leads to increased wear. With increasing axle length and the associated increasing number of gear racks to be installed, this error becomes even greater. Gear racks from SCHNEEBERGER, on the other hand, are available in lengths of up to 3000 mm (2000 mm for Q5). The main benefit is
Fewer gear racks have to be installed per machine axis. This reduces installation time.
By reducing the number of gear racks required, the pitch error is minimized, thus increasing the service life.
Furthermore, SCHNEEBERGER gear racks feature the option of any desired cross-section with different types of attachments, entirely according to the customer's requirements.

The excellent performance – and technical superiority – of SCHNEEBERGER gear racks are due to careful manufacturing, the company's many years of experience and the constant search for additional possibilities for optimization.

Potential applications vary widely. Whether linearly moving a machine tool gantry weighing several tons, positioning a laser cutting head at top speed or driving a jointed arm robot with maximum precision for welding operations – gear racks from SCHNEEBERGER ensure accuracy, dynamic motion and efficiency at all times.

The right mineral casting for every application

Whether 80 grams light or 30 tons heavy: SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik products offer unbeatable customer benefits. For many years, mineral casting, a "modern material", has represented an alternative to parts made from grey cast iron or steel and is nowadays the superior technology for a vast number of applications. Mineral casting has made new, innovative applications possible in electronics and in the medical devices sector. It is also the technology of the future - CO2 savings per ton of mineral casting are an incredible 1.4 tons of CO2 in comparison to grey cast iron/steel. This is testimony of our goals within our environmental agenda. SCHNEEBERGER Mineragusstechnik saved 15,000 tons of CO2 in 2018 – to the benefit of us all.

SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik is one of the world's leading manufacturers of mineral casting. It offers innovative and high-precision mineral casting solutions while also making significant contributions to the "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO) of completely pre-assembled modules and assembly groups made to customer specification. From our two locations in Europe (Cheb, Czech Republic) and in China (Changzhou), we serve a wide variety of markets and industries worldwide.

The latest alternative to conventional mineral casting is the UHPC-W material techcon® from SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik. It also features cold curing, with a special cement mixture (instead of epoxy resins), but has similar physical properties at significantly lower costs compared to mineral casting. Excellent for “second line" products – exchange tooling, support, etc. Mechanical processing can be done to a similar extent as mineral casting.With techcon® from SCHNEEBERGER there is now an economical alternative in the area of mineral casting materials for certain applications such as prototypes or small series.

Linear bearings

SCHNEEBERGER introduced the Type R cross-roller guideway and ball guideway as the first standardized linear frictionless guideways. These guideways and the further developments that have resulted from them continue to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications.

SCHNEEBERGER offers a wide range of linear bearings in standard sizes that are ideally suited to many different applications. From robotics, machines and the semiconductor industry to laboratory applications, medical technology and many more. But even if standard dimensions do not fulfill your requirements, SCHNEEBERGER's specially adapted customized guideways make the company an ideal partner.

The robust linear bearings are available in three quality classes for use under operating temperatures of -40 °C to +80 °C. Furthermore, RN and RNG guideways can be equipped with the FORMULA-S cage control in order to counteract cage creep. Similarly, it is possible to combine R and RD guideways with Type SK, SKD, SKC and SR recirculating units.
