Technology highlight: Swivel and rotary modules from the Zimmer Group

  • “Up to 100% more power than the benchmark” The superior end position damping allows you to swivel more mass in the shortest possible time and thus increase the part output of your machine
  • “Large center bore” Reduce the interference contours in your application by laying your supply lines directly through the center of the rotary flange
  • “More than 100% higher radial bearing load than the benchmark” The generously dimensioned bearings feature robustness and durability and ensure maximum process reliability in your application

HIGH-PERFORMANCE

When it comes to swiveling, the shortest possible cycle time is the first priority. Our in-house developed shock absorbers with spiral groove technology provide the market’s best end position damping – perfect for our high-performance swivel units with their extremely short cycle times.

TRIED AND TESTED

As a pioneer from the very beginning, we are offering you a comprehensive product range that is constantly raising the bar. In addition to the world’s first shock-absorbed folding axis, we also developed products such as the first pivot unit with a locking middle position.

ROBUST

Generously dimensioned bearings make it possible for our units to handle a great deal. Where others may lose a tooth now and then, we can offer you a virtually wear-free gear drive with external stops.
