Winkel bearings offer 30 percent more load bearing capacity

01 November 2012

Winkel’s new NbV rails are able to withstand 30 percent higher contact pressure between the bearing and the rail, giving Winkel bearings higher capacity for static and dynamic loads.

As a result, a smaller sized Winkel bearing and rail can now be specified for a given duty, saving money, space and weight .

Available in the UK from HepcoMotion, stainless steel bearings and rails can also be specified with no minimal order quantity on rail length, with any length up to 6m supplied ex-stock.

Winkel’s stainless steel range has also been expanded to include new bearings for high speed applications in corrosive or hygienic environments.
