Lightweight Design

Franke Wire Race Bearings offer maximum freedom of design without compromising load capacity and precision. The enclosing construction can be made of lightweight materials such as aluminum, CFRP or 3-pressure.

Direct Drive with Torque-Motor

Franke Wire Race Bearings with integrated direct drive offer maximum energy efficiency. By dispensing with additional components such as gears and drive pinions, power losses due to friction or play are minimized.
