Product catalog summary
Overview: Franke GmbH specializes in compact, precise, and durable Wire Race Bearings, offering innovative solutions for various applications. These bearings are designed to provide maximum freedom of design with unlimited choices in material, geometry, size, and other specifications.
Specifications: Wire Race Bearings are available as ball or roller bearings, featuring raceways made of hardened steel, high precision, and the ability to handle equal loads from all directions. They are customizable in terms of wire profile, raceways, ball diameter, and material, with options for non-magnetic and stainless steel versions. Bearing diameters range from 60 to 2000 mm.
Features: Key features include extremely low rotational resistance, high load capacity, and high rigidity. The bearings are available from single units to serial production, with fast availability and some types in stock.
Product Variants: The document details two main types of bearings:
  • Type LVG: A 2-row angular roller bearing assembly with aluminum housing rings, designed for high load ratings, high rigidity, and low weight. These are sealed on both sides and adjusted free from clearance with preload.
  • Type LEW: Suitable for high demands on load capacity and rigidity, featuring crosswise arranged rollers for equal load distribution. They offer excellent running behavior due to CNC-ground raceways and precise geometrical adjustments.
Technical Details:
  • Material: Race rings made of 67SiCr5, rollers of 100Cr6, and cages of PA12.
  • Temperature Range: -20 °C to +80 °C, briefly up to +100 °C.
  • Circumferential Speed: Max 4 m/s.
  • Lubrication: Shell Gadus S3 V220 grease, with lubrication nipples for roller bearings.
Applications: Preferred applications include medical technology, navigation/antenna systems, vehicle construction, and aerospace. The bearings are particularly noted for their use in medical ceiling equipment, providing high load capacity and low rotational resistance.
Conclusion: Franke Wire Race Bearings offer innovative, adaptable solutions for high-performance applications, emphasizing customization, durability, and efficiency.

Franke Roller Bearings-1

The Franke Principle: Compact, precise and durable Wire Race Bearings Lightweight Bearings, Direkt Drive Bearings and Special Bearings for Innovation With Franke Wire Race Bearings, the rolling process does not take place directly between the rolling elements and the mating structure, but rather on special race rings. The compact and highly resilient four-point geometry of the bearing gives you maximum reedom of design. The choice of material, geometry, size, drilling pattern, gear or seals is unlimited. Mounting examples: Features of all Franke Wire Race Bearings Ball Bearing Wire Race Bearings as Roller Bearings Infinite Possibilities Bearing Elements and Bearing Assemblies Franke Wire Race Bearings are space-saving, variable and individually adaptable. With our customers we develop the optimal solution for every application.
