The standard length of a gear rack is usually 1000 mm. During assembly, these are installed one after the other. Gear racks from SCHNEEBERGER, on the other hand, are available in lengths of up to 3000 mm (2000 mm for Q5). 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. 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. The price per meter of gear racks decreases with increasing length. This allows our customers to save money. 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…

Dr. Javier de Oñate (Vice President and Business Unit Manager Systems): “With…

As part of the further expansion of the SCHNEEBERGER Group, an additional site was founded in Poland. The new company SCHNEEBERGER Components Poland (SPO) officially started on November 19, 2020 and has already commenced operations, producing precision parts for the entire Group. This means that the production footprint defined as part of the long-term strategy development is being consistently implemented and further developed. Stefan Hantke (CEO SCHNEEBERGER Group): "With this measure, we have once again ensured that we actively support the growth of our customers in the long term. We are very pleased that we were able to win Mr. Boguslaw Czarkowski as Managing Director for this new company, a very experienced linear technology specialist with pronounced production expertise."

The precision and robustness of the MINISCALE PLUS optical distance measuring system is impressive. The product was developed for tight spaces as well as high speeds and increases in speed in the work process in conjunction with  high measuring accuracy. It is used in different high-tech sectors, such as in various medical technology and biotechnology applications. The MINISCALE PLUS is based on the MINIRAIL profiled linear guideway and combines the characteristics of a linear encoder with those of a miniature profiled linear guideway. The innovative embedding of ball recirculation in the carriage allows speeds of up to 5 m/s and increases of speed of up to 300 m/s2. With the combination of an integrated MINISCALE PLUS distance measuring system, the “Guide” and “Measurement” functions are offered on a single rail. MINISCALE PLUS therefore makes a significant contribution to a reduced TCO (total cost of ownership), as only one component needs to be ordered, stored, installed and…

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. 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. The maximum one-piece profile rail length for all AMS distance measuring systems is 6 meters. For the analog…

A.MANNESMANN, a global manufacturer of high-performance ball screws, has been part of the SCHNEEBERGER Group since October 2017. More than 50 years ago, A.MANNESMANN was one of the first manufacturers in Europe to introduce the ball screw and innovate the product while continually sharing knowledge and experience with market-leading operators. The company has consistently met the increasing demands of the technology required to compete. AM ball screws can be deployed over a variety of technical requirements. Traveling speeds ranging from virtually 0 m/min to 150 m/min, and accelerations of up to 20 m/sec² are easily achieved and A. MANNESAMANN ball screws are generally designed for an operating life of more than 20,000 hours! The constant torque, precise travel movements – even in reverse mode, along with positioning capability and repeatability are all standard features of AM ball screws. A.MANNESMANN is your single source provider of quality, innovative and cost competitive…

MONORAIL BZ is a compact, integrated assembly consisting of a 4-way ball guided profile rail guideway and a rack and pinion drive system. The combination of "guiding" and "drive" in one product offers the user the following advantages. The individual characteristic features of the two individual components are completely maintained. One-piece assembly lengths up to 6000 mm. The guideway component provides the best running properties, a high load-bearing capacity and service life in conjunction with a large number of carriage types, executions and accessories. The hardened and ground gearing of the drive component represents the highest quality and accuracy. Matching pinions are also available. The design effort is minimized compared to individual components, as the guideway, rack and pinion are already perfectly matched to each other. Compared to individual components, the required installation space is significantly smaller. This enables performance-optimized designs. The…

MONORAIL MR 4x roller-guided profiled linear guideways are synonymous with maximum quality and guaranteed functionality. Outstanding degrees of rail straightness, accurate machining and high mechanical load capacity distinguish MONORAIL MR profiled guideways as an efficient, extremely robust quality solution for demanding applications requiring the most stringent demands for accuracy, such as for tooling machines. The product portfolio is comprised of 23 different combinations of rail size and shape as well as 33 different carriage configurations, offering the greatest possible design flexibility.
