Linear bearing - Import export

Hydrostatic bearings are characterized by practically frictionless movement. The corresponding linear guides are free from stick-slip effects and there is practically no wear on the guides. Gases (mostly air) or liquids (mostly oil) can be used as the carrying medium. Air-bearing guides are ideal, for example, for clean room applications or at high sliding speeds. If oil is used as the carrying medium, higher carrying forces can be achieved with the same size and better damping properties. Various designs are available, which can be customized at any time to meet special requirements in terms of installation space, load capacity, guide length / table diameter, drive type, position measuring system, etc.

Cassette with star grip - standard Cassette with star grip or clamping lever for locking at any position on the guide track. The clamping acts without force on the guide system. It is used for manually movable devices, clamping and holding stops, delivery of tools and processing parts. Please consult us for further information. Cassette with clamp lever Cassettes with clamping levers allow the cassettes to be locked in any position along the guideway. The clamping acts without force on the guide system. It is used for manually movable devices, clamping and holding stops, delivery of tools and processing parts. We would be happy to advise you on application and design.

For our bearing assemblies and linear systems, we use high-quality lubricants as standard that are suitable for most applications. Special operating conditions require special lubricants. Standard and special greases are available in the respective container sizes from us as accessories. They can be used when our bearing elements are used for the first time or for relubricating slewing rings.

The MMC 600/900 is the basis for a series of machines that, via several accessories and options, can be fully customized to individual needs. In the basic version the machine consists of a main X-axis featuring a linear air bearing (feed axis), a linear roller bearing Z-axis (infeed axis) and the milling spindle (air bearing) mounted on top of the Z-axis. The main application is face milling of optical and mechanical precision components. Several accessories like a Y-axis, an A-axis and/or C-axis are available, thus expanding the range of machinable parts to
microstructures, lenticular structures, spheres, polygons and so on. Accessories, like vacuum chucks, different milling spindles, touch probes for part thickness measurement and even machine interferometers for insitu measurement of workpiece shape, make the MMC 600 and 900 machines an effective tool. Besides further accessories, there is the possibility to make customized solutions, to adapt the machine to your needs.

In the basic version the MMC 5000 consists of a main X-axis featuring a linear air bearing (feed axis), a linear roller bearing Z-axis (infeed axis) and the milling spindle (air bearing) mounted on top of the Z-axis. The main application is face milling of optical and mechanical precision components. A Y-axis is available as an option. Another useful accessory is a second milling spindle, used perpendicular to the first one, thus allowing for the machining of two sides of a workpiece to perpendicularity in one setup. Accessories, like vacuum chucks, different milling spindles, touch probes for part thickness measurement, machine interferometers and other sensors for insitu measurement of workpiece shape and roughness, make the MMC 5000 machines an effective tool. In addition, various sensors are available for measuring of the workpiece geometry and surface quality during the manufacturing process.
