Behind every project are people 👨‍🔧

In fast paced industries it can be difficult to switch off and mental wellbeing looks different for everyone.

That’s why taking time to reset outside of work is important.

Whether it’s getting outdoors, going to the gym or spending time with family, small routines outside of work can make a real difference to mental wellbeing over time 🌳

There’s no single way to recharge and it looks different for everyone.

Take a look at what the Franke team do to switch off outside of work 👇

In a research centrifuge for future Mars missions, highly advanced linear guides from Franke are used.

These components, specially designed for extreme loads, impress with their exceptionally low weight, which significantly reduces the centrifugal forces and increases the overall system’s efficiency.

Despite their lightweight construction, the guides support loads of up to 1,000 N in the Z direction and achieve travel speeds of around 2 m/s.

Their lubricant-free operation ensures maximum cleanliness and operational reliability, crucial for the centrifuge’s sensitive environment.

In addition, the design enables fast, smooth movement of the cable carrier for reliable data and power transmission.
