Rodriguez is not only present in Germany but also internationally established. The expert for linear technology and slewing bearings operates a sales office with four employees near Paris. The Eurosatory, taking place from June 17 to 21, 2024, in Paris, will thus become a home game for the company. The focus will be on individually designed and highly precise rotary joints, large-diameter slewing bearings, thin-section bearings, and custom system solutions (VAP).

Rodriguez's thin-section bearings achieve performance levels comparable to standard slewing bearings despite miniaturization. Thin-section bearings are also characterized by a large bore diameter with a small bearing cross-section. Thanks to this design trick, solid shafts can be replaced by hollow shafts, and the free interior space can be used for air lines, hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, or slip rings.

For large-diameter slewing bearings, customers primarily value high reliability and long service life. Since these massive components can only be replaced with significant effort, customized solutions are in demand. Rodriguez also demonstrates expertise, flexibility, and high product quality here: "We also deliver customer-specific special designs on short notice," says Martin Stremmel, Product Manager at Rodriguez. "Our individual engineering enables the design of prototypes and the delivery of identical spare parts for existing machines."

For highly precise applications, among other things, Rodriguez's ball rotary joints are suitable. They are characterized by large diameters and bores with small cross-sections. Rodriguez's ball rotary joints support axial, radial, and combined loads. Thanks to its own manufacturing capacities, Rodriguez can customize these and other components individually and develop customer-specific system solutions (Value Added Products) based on them.

In November, Rodriguez will also be present at Sepem in Grenoble to further expand and nurture its French contacts.
