A manufacturer of electrical sockets chose Eichenberger Gewinde ballscrews to drive its handling systems and boost production volume up to 2300 parts per hour. For this particular application, the multi-axis handling system required maximum precision under extremely stringent geometric conditions. The Carry E or F ballscrews match the demands of this application exactly, combining speed, precision and as well as minimum space requirements, because the ball return passes through the end caps which are fully integrated in the nut body. The η efficiency of Carry ball screws is greater than 0.9.

Technological progress continues to advance rapidly. Today, in the face of global competition, companies are finding that quality and reliability alone will not get them far. The world is changing and asking for better, faster, cheaper. To exceed customer expectations requires the desire to innovate in the development of production technologies and a willingness to change to efficient manufacturing processes. Eichenberger, the Swiss thread rolling specialist has succeeded in establishing itself in the drive technology niche with tailor-made, customized screw driving solutions. There is a constant demand for solutions to practical tasks. Somewhere there is always something that needs moving. Threading expert Eichenberger realized this a long time ago and has been able to successfully use the opportunities it offers. Their specialists listen to customers, give advice, design, build, test, optimize and manufacture. This is why their custom-tailored ball screw drives are being used everywhere, in medical, electrical, and automotive systems, as well as in automation, aeronautics and even in aerospace.

When three ball screws manage docking on the ISS in orbit. Cold-rolled reliability for the next generation of space shuttles. We move things all over the world and from 2020 in space, too !

Oil is the black gold under the earth’s surface. To reach this precious resource, innovative and extraction technologies are required. Before the fossil fuel reaches us in the form of the familiar end products we use every day, it not only has a history stretching back over millions of years but also has travelled in a long journey. For the last five decades, Eichenberger Gewinde AG’s principal activity has been the design and manufacture of highly accurate and cleverly-designed screw drives. It uses this wealth of experience and technical know-how to support its partners in their process of innovation. Dynamic-mechanical functional elements are highly adaptable, and this means they can contribute significantly to the success of drive technology projects. The Swiss thread specialist is aware of this and makes use of this potential.
