Hygienic Plastic Solutions for Lab and Analysis Technology, In-Vitro Diagnostics

Measurement and analysis devices in the medical industry are highly dynamic and compact, and are increasingly becoming automated — whether it’s microtomes, centrifuges, cappers & decappers, analysis systems, pipetting robots, or something else entirely. Our linear axes & motors, e-chains®, gears, lead screw assemblies and other components for laboratory equipment are therefore designed for maximum speeds and a long service life. Our plastic components are completely grease-free and maintenance-free, a key factor for achieving reliable performance over an extensive service life. They also offer cost savings over comparable metal components, have vibration and noise-damping properties, and completely resist corrosion.

Best of all, configurators are available to help calculate the service life of our components based upon application requirements, configure custom solutions down to the specific material used, and even request a quote or place an order.

Application Stories

Filling System for Reaction Vessels

lead screws in filling system application

Absolute precision and reliability were essential for the feeds in this filling plant. Today, the customer relies on drylin® lead screw technology, which impresses with a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and optimal glide surfaces.
