Lubrication-free bearings and reliable cable protection in dental technology

The dental chair is the centrepiece of every treatment room. Intuitive operability, comfort, ergonomics and low maintenance requirements play an important role here. Bearing technology for linear or rotary adjustments as well as energy chains for guiding media should be as durable and quiet as possible. Stick-slip-free movements must also be guaranteed for a literally smooth user experience. We fulfil these requirements with our absolutely lubrication- and maintenance-free surfaces and corrosion-free materials. Our energy chain systems for installation in compact devices also ensure the reliable guidance of power and data cables.

Nowadays, sophisticated and detailed 360° visualisations can be created in diagnostic imaging in dental medicine. From X-ray devices such as intraoral radiators to 3D tomographs, we offer all components for rotary and linear bearings as well as cable routing. This is where trouble-free, durable, quiet and economical solutions are essential.
Thanks to optimised friction and wear values, absolute freedom from lubrication and maintenance and their high torsional strength, our solutions can be found universally in adjustable, swivel or rotary bearings in imaging diagnostics. We also offer a complete programme of energy chains and cables for moving applications for the cable of energy and data within medical devices.

Milling machines for CAD/CDM production can be found in dental laboratories, where they are used to produce dental prostheses with the highest precision. The centrepiece of the high-tech devices are the two milling heads that process the blank. The guidance of the power and data cable to these milling heads must follow the fine motion sequences smoothly without restricting the work process. High accelerations and jerky movements are also part of the requirements for cable guides in laboratory equipment. Our product portfolio supports dental laboratories here with energy chains, cables and bearing technology that enable reliable and maintenance-free operation.

Dental casting unit: Reliable closing

This casting unit is used for the production of dental restorations. As the alloys used can reach temperatures of several hundred degrees, a durable closing mechanism based on a drylin® W-profile guide is used.
