Like many standard parts, ball transfer units are rarely noticed in everyday life – but their function is nevertheless essential: They enable energy-efficient, rapid and secure movement of workpieces along complex conveyors or production lines. Because the balls move omnidirectionally, they can be…

In machine and plant construction, components are often attached with screws to allow for easy detachment later. But specific technical requirements or confined spaces often make typical screws unsuitable. The screw head may be too tall, for example, or its diameter too large. Ganter product group 3…

They are nearly universal elements that can be found anywhere that latching, locking and securing is required: indexing plungers. Despite the diverse range of types and dimensions, they previously all had one thing in common: The latching process typically makes use of a cylindrical hole that is ali…

Often the most easily overlooked things turn out to be among the most useful. The sensor holders GN 801.3 and GN 801.4 are perfect examples. These add-on elements help enable position monitoring for many types of toggle clamps and therefore play an important role in process reliability.

These standar…

Ganter’s standard parts selection is growing once again – with the recent addition of an entirely new category for wheels and casters. The establishment of the new catalog group 3.10 is a clear indication that these mobility-enabling standard parts will have all the room they need. That is only…

Hygiene steht in vielen Branchen im Zentrum der Produktionsanforderungen – von der Lebensmittelindustrie über die Medizintechnik bis zur Pharma-Industrie. Der Trend zu Produkten ohne konservierende Zusätze erfordert Produktionsumgebungen, die höchste Reinheitsstandards erfüllen. Ganter, führe…

When it comes to moving parts linearly, holding workpieces in place or making position adjustments in mechanisms, trapezoidal lead screws and nuts are almost always involved. Lead screws are ideally suited for rapid positioning movements, can transmit high forces and torques and are exceptionally re…

Dowel pins DIN 6325 of hardened steel, also known as locating pins, are universal parts that can be pressed into fitting bores. They are used in tool and machine construction, for example, to secure a precise position, to receive shear forces or, in the simplest case, as stops or pivot axes. The dow…

Behind the new precision double tube linear actuators lies a system of numerous versions with different guides, stroke lengths, spindle types, slide sizes and materials. The slide is moved by a trapezoidal, fine thread or recirculating ball spindle, with left- or right-hand thread, and is guided eit…

Handles with additional active functions optimize the operation of systems and machines, simplifying operation and process monitoring. Precisely for these more complex applications the cabinet U-handle GN 6284 was designed: It has an integrated button and a large, colored, backlit area on the back o…
