The Times are changing – the Principle remains. The first brochure about Wire Race Bearings from the year 1949 and Wire Race Bearings as an innovation impulse for modern handling robots.

The Consideration Crucial for the function and performance of a rolling bearing are raceways which are precisely adapted to the rolling elements. Our Invention We insert race rings of hardened wire in an enclosing structure. This concept ensures maximum functionality of the bearing - regardless of the material and geometry of the housing parts. Your Benefit Due to this design principle wire race bearings require only little space. Material and shape of the enclosing structure are completely unlimited. Thus saving weight and minimizing drive power.

point-contact principle to take equal loads from all directions. 95% of our products are bespoke versions of our bearings and linear systems. are the diameters of our hardened steel wires used as raceways. is the diameter range of wire race bearings we produce.

representations worldwide offer their services close to our customers. 1 new prototype of a customized special bearing leaves the factory on average per week. employees take care of the needs of our customers at our headquarters in Aalen, Germany. 110.000 bearings of different kinds and sizes and 40.000 m of linear guides leave the company per year.

We are representing the many excellent employees at Franke, the high quality standards of our products and services, as well as our brand values. This is Franke.
