KIS hybrid bearings combine the best properties of steel and ceramic bearings. They consist of steel races and ceramic rolling elements, typically made of silicon nitride. This unique combination offers numerous advantages that have been specially developed to meet the requirements of modern electric motors. Why hybrid bearings? ✅ Higher speeds and lower friction: Ceramic rolling elements are lighter and feature a higher surface quality than steel, resulting in lower friction and higher speeds. This significantly increases the efficiency of your electric motor. ✅ Longer service life: Thanks to the lower friction, lower weight and increased hardness of the ceramic elements, hybrid bearings are less susceptible to wear and raise the service life of your motor. Compared to standard bearings, hybrid bearings offer double the lifespan and triple the grease durability. ✅ Better heat resistance: Ceramic materials can withstand higher temperatures, improving electric motor performance in demanding environments. ✅ Reduced current losses: Hybrid bearings offer better insulation resistance and avoid electrical corrosion. 👉 Equip your electric motors with hybrid bearings and benefit from more efficient, durable and reliable performance. Contact us today for a consultation and find out how hybrid bearings can take your electric motors to the next level!

🔍 Optimised Mating Track Design for Cam Followers Efficiency and reliability are crucial in #intralogistics. Forklift trucks work under extreme conditions - high loads, continuous movement and contamination such as dust and dirt put the components under a lot of stress. A key rotary solution for smooth operation is the #liftmastroller. It ensures precise guidance of the mast and guarantees exact lifting and lowering of loads. Frequent start-stop cycles and dynamic load changes are a major challenge here in particular. If the load falls below the minimum load, there is a risk of increased sliding friction, which can lead to premature wear. An optimised mating track design and suitable lubrication strategies are essential in order to maximise the service life of the bearing and avoid unplanned downtimes. An inadequately designed mating track can lead to increased wear, uneven load distribution and reduced service life. Important aspects in the design: ✅ Material selection and heat treatment: High-strength materials with suitable hardening reduce plastic deformation and surface wear. ✅ Surface finish: A finely machined surface minimises friction and promotes stable lubricant film formation. ✅ Hertzian pressure: An adapted contact geometry prevents material fatigue and promotes even loading. However, it is not only the mating track that is decisive - the minimum load must not be undercut either! Otherwise you’re risking: ❌ Insufficient rolling of the rolling elements → Risk of sliding friction increases. ❌ Lubricating film is broken → Metal-to-metal contact leads to adhesive wear (lubrication). ❌ Increased friction and local overheating → Deterioration of running conditions. Applications with start-stop cycles or high accelerations are particularly problematic. To avoid damage, the following solutions can be considered: ✅ DLC coatings to reduce friction and increase wear resistance. ✅ Optimised lubrication concepts to ensure stable separation of the contact surfaces. ✅ Smaller series of dimensions to ensure a sufficient minimum load. Our engineering team is happy to advise on the optimum combination of mating track design, compliance with the minimum load and application-orientated design to ensure the operational reliability and service life of cam rollers, even in heavy-duty applications! #KIS #RethinkingRotation

KIS Linear Axis System with Robot

🤖 Robots would choose KIS Bearings! Maximise the performance and durability of your automation systems with our high-performance #HybridBearings. Our products are customised solutions designed to fit your specific application, for example in medical technology. 💡 In medical applications, hybrid bearings run much more quietly and for much longer, resulting in increased safety and reliability of your devices. Ceramic balls have a higher cost factor than steel balls due to a more complex manufacturing process and more expensive raw material prices, but a bearing is only one part of a mechanical system (including shaft, lubrication and housing). Together, these parts determine the function, availability and, above all, the service life. As a result, the initially higher investment costs of the ceramic bearing may be quickly amortized due to the many technical advantages specific to the application. 💡 Imagine your devices operating almost silently and with maximum efficiency, which not only increases patient comfort, but also extends maintenance intervals and minimises downtime. Our hybrid bearings offer exactly these benefits and can significantly improve the performance and longevity of your devices even with insufficient lubrication and small indentations on the raceway, which are polished again by the hard ceramic balls. In numerous automation and robotic applications, thin section bearings must provide high camber stiffness and load capacity while minimizing friction, all within the smallest possible design. With an advanced material portfolio custom-engineered hybrid ceramic thin section bearings are developed to meet and exceed these demanding operational requirements. They are for example available as deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings and four-point-contact versions. 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ Our KIS engineers will work with you to develop the perfect bearing for your automation system. Let's discuss how we can make your processes even more efficient!

Global freight transport associated with vegetable and fruit consumption contributes 36% of food-miles emissions—almost twice the amount of greenhouse gases released during their production. One of the major ways we can move forward on our journey towards sustainable agriculture is by growing food close to consumers in high efficiency greenhouses or Vertical Farms that can produce crops year-round while using 10x less natural resources.

For the storage and retrieval of small load carriers in an automatic small parts warehouse, we have designed a special transfer car with a single lift mast. The MINILOAD telescopic fork, which is also installed, has two belt conveyors that make order picking in the aisle possible without any problems. The belt drive of the telescopic fork has the advantage that it enables particularly high acceleration and speed values. In addition, the system is low wear and maintenance friendly. The lift drive also operates with belts, which guarantee a long service life and the precise positioning of the lift frame. The design with a single-beam system also reduces the weight of the transfer car. 🔍 Visit our website for more information: https://www.afb-gmbh.de/en/ 🌍 3D Video created by Hot Sauce 3D Animations: https://www.hotsauceanimations.nl/ #Telescopic #AFB #3D #3danimation #Fork #loadhandling #automation #miniload #afb #materialhandling #telescopicfork #logistics #factory #automation #omnichannel #ThirdPartyLogistics #warehouseautomation #roboticwarehouse #transfercar

Because of the rising demand for pesticide-free food, the vertical farming industry is looking at a potential tenfold growth throughout the next 10 years. This rapid pace of growth is understandable when you consider that according to the United Nations, food production needs to increase by around 60% until 2050 in order to feed the growing global population. Vertical farms can produce consistent year-round crops possible while using considerably less water and no pesticides whatsoever. Logiqs is proud to be in a primed position to contribute to the growth of the industry with automated benching solutions specifically designed and build for high capacity and high efficiency farms. If you would like to learn more about our Greencube vertical farming system, please visit our website or get in touch with us.

Just how flexible is an iCUBE AS/RS? This animation showcases how the 3D-Carriers and Lifts can automatically work together in fast paced order picking scenarios. Depending on the required speed and on the availability of 3D-Carriers, the system can either fulfil each individual pallet movement independently from the others or fulfil the entire batch collaboratively by doing pallet hand-offs between multiple 3D-Carriers by using the Lifts as the handoff points between levels.
