Components for motion
An important part of the range of the BIBUS webshop consists of components used to drive or guide parts and movements. These are used in various industries and machine and equipment construction. This page provides more information about BIBUS' range of motion components.
Linear actuators
Linear actuators or actuators are used to achieve linear push and pull movements. These components offer a high-quality and reliable solution when precise linear movements are required.
Actuators are used for tilting, lifting, pulling or pushing objects with a force of up to 10,000 N. The range of actuators consists of four different force groups, from 110 N to 10,000 N. There is also a choice of versions with integrated control (easyE-i) and external control (easyE). Via the online actuator configurator, you can easily put together the right linear actuator yourself.
Hydraulic height adjustment
The range includes hydraulic cylinders, pumps and height adjustment systems (Easymotion) applicable for many applications.
BIBUS supplies hydraulic solutions from Bansbach. Bansbach is a renowned ISO 9001:2008 certified German company that has been offering a comprehensive range of customer-specific gas spring and hydraulic solutions for over 40 years.
Rotary drives
Besides various linear drives, BIBUS also offers rotary drives. The drives for rotary movements use absolute type position detection, which guarantees high accuracy. These drives make a rotary movement up to 180/360 degrees, for example, to provide an alternative to a pneumatic rotary cylinder. Another application is to realise infinite rotations.
Linear guides
Besides actuators, you will also find various series of linear guides from the CKD brand in the webshop. Linear guides are mechanical components used to enable movements along a straight line. They consist of a rail and a carriage that moves along the rail. The use of linear guides ensures very precise and smooth movements. This makes them indispensable in many automation processes.
Via the website, you can easily put together the right linear guide or download the necessary documentation.
Mahr precision ball guiding units
Do you have issues with regards to accuracy? For many machines, it is highly important that movements take place accurately and in a controlled manner. BIBUS has decades worth of knowledge, experience, and creativity with the technology of Mahr''s precision ball guiding units. These highly accurate ball guiding units (friction coefficient between 0.001 and 0.008 mm) have more than proved themselves as reliable construction elements for play-free linear and/or rotating movements. In addition to familiar applications, such as die-cutting technology and die sets, precision ball guiding units are increasingly used for general machine and equipment construction.
Important characteristics:
- For play-free linear and/or rotating movements;
- The highest precision and lightest guiding characteristics;
- Close production tolerances guarantee interchangeability of components;
- Long service life and maintenance intervals;
- Large selection of shafts, bushes, and ball cages;
- Deviating preload for specific properties, such as extremely light guides or high loads;
- Brass and plastic ball cages;
- Ambient temperatures of up to 300°C possible;
Special custom versions, made of different materials (e.g. stainless steel, PEEK, or ceramics), are also available.
We will closely collaborate with you during the design process, allowing us to implement any of your unique preferences. If you have a design challenge that requires precision and accuracy? Like many before you, do not hesitate to contact us!
