Lubrication-free bearings and reliable cable protection for wheelchairs
Since wheelchairs have to be used both indoors and outdoors on a daily basis, manufacturers are confronted with an exceptionally broad range of requirements. High forces, severe weathering effects and dirt and dust are just a few challenges that our bearing products and energy chains can meet.
Whether as plain bearings in wheelchair suspension or support rollers, linear guides for arm and foot rests or rod end for tie rods. Our products and materials provide high dampening capacity, low coefficients of friction and wear, maintenance-free and lubrication-free operation and stick-slip-free movements for a good feeling of comfort.
