How can alternative materials improve linear guide performance? 👀

Using aluminium as the base material can reduce moving mass, helping to lower drive power requirements and achieve faster acceleration. Combined with sealed roller elements, these designs can also offer greater resistance to contamination, moisture and temperature fluctuations.

These benefits make alternative linear guide designs worth considering in applications where efficiency, dynamics and reliability are key.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our colleagues from Franke GmbH to the UK 🌟

We had a productive few days together, discussing key business topics, opportunities for growth and how we can continue to strengthen collaboration between the UK and German teams.

Of course, there was also time to enjoy some good food and drinks, along with a competitive game of crazy golf!

It was great to spend time together in person, share ideas and look at how we can continue working more closely across both teams.

Thanks to everyone from Franke GmbH for a great few days 💙

We’re looking forward to putting the plans into action and continuing to work together!
