Manufacture of bearings - Import export

Magnetic ball bearings are increasingly important in CO2 laser systems and fluid pumps as well as applications in the optics industry. GMN has led the development and manufacture of safety bearings, so-called ‘touchdown bearings’ since the middle of the 1990s."

Based on our many years of experience in developing and manufacturing high-quality machine components, GMN has specialized in the area of high-precision ball bearings as well as the production of high-performance and long-lived deep groove and spindle ball bearings to meet – or even exceed – the highest precision classes P4 and ABEC 7. Certification under international standards ensures the highest precision in the development and manufacturing of GMN ball bearings and guarantees constant, outstanding qualities related to speed suitability, stability and longevity. The broad product range includes a large selection of standard solutions as well as requirements-tailored special designs.

In addition to our special bearings, GMN develops and manufactures ready-to-install, complex bearing systems. By assigning your entire bearing project to GMN you can fully focus on your core competencies.

Angle encoder modules from HEIDENHAIN are combinations of angle encoders and high-precision bearings that are optimally adjusted to each other. They are characterized by their high degree of measuring and bearing accuracy, their very high resolution, and the highest degree of repeatability. The low starting torque permits smooth motions. Due to their design as completely specified and tested composite components, handling and installation is very simple. Setup Since HEIDENHAIN manufactures the bearings as well as the encoders, the two functional assemblies are highly integrated. Fewer components are necessary than in conventional solutions, resulting in fewer joints. This permits a very compact and rigid design, with particularly low overall heights. Currently, angle encoder modules with hollow shafts of 35 mm and 100 mm are available.
