Components for fitness and rehabilitation equipment

Maintenance-free bearing technology in the surf training device
The developers of Surf Evolution, a device for training surfing movements, were looking for better bearing technology. In the first version, they relied on metal bearings. However, it soon became apparent that the costs for the components were too high and the maintenance of the many bearing points was too time-consuming. The solution: dry-operating iglidur bushings, dryspin lead screws and drylin W linear guides. With them, maintenance can be minimised and costs reduced by 70%.

Fluid movement on a cross-country skiing trainer
The ThoraxTrainer brings the cross-country skiing trail into your living room. The user moves the poles just like in real cross-country skiing and thus achieves an optimum training effect for the entire body. In order to achieve a particularly realistic simulation, it was important to the developers that the linear carriages slide very smoothly and quietly along the rail. The solution: our lubrication-free drylin W linear guides. The trainer's ski poles are each mounted on a linear guide with a carriage.

Smooth gliding without lubrication
For their leg press, the designers at Exer were looking for suitable bearings that would ensure the seat glided easily and smoothly. As the device is used outdoors, the bearings and guides must also be corrosion-free and, ideally, lubrication-free. The choice fell on two drylin W linear guides with hybrid bearings.

Cost-effective, quiet and lubrication-free
With the drylin W modular system, A & D Sports has also found a way to equip its high-quality fitness equipment with cost-saving and lubrication-free components.

Extremely robust under permanent load
With this application, the user trains the body tension as well as the back muscles. igubal spherical bearings ensure comfortable sitting and defy the permanent load.

Durable, quiet and cost-effective
This application illustrates the advantages of switching from metal bearings to plastic solutions. With this cross trainer, igubal spherical bearings ensure a quiet operation and minimal maintenance.
