General engineering
The development of new markets is a challenge for machine and plant engineering since framework conditions are constantly changing. With our efficient plants and procedures, we offer the solution to ever stricter energy and environmental requirements.
Individually developed, produced and delivered, our rothe erde® slewing bearings are used as a central part in all fields of general machine engineering. We supply our slewing bearings to the leading manufacturers in, for example, the fields of robotics, water treatment, machine tools, waste disposal, and many more.
We accompany our customers right from the first idea, through construction and production, to after-sales services and joint research & development - this is how we became the industry’s globally-leading partner.
Our solutions in the general machine engineering sector
Robots are playing an increasingly important role in industrial manufacturing and production processes, since they combine maximum productivity with optimised manufacturing times. Intelligent automation technology can therefore be profitably used in almost all industrial processes. Using this can secure producing companies a decisive competitive advantage. thyssenkrupp rothe erde has been supplying the field of robotics with several rings and slewing bearings for many years.
It is becoming increasingly important to develop environmentally-friendly solutions for the production and treatment of fresh water, in order to preserve our natural resources. Slewing bearings by thyssenkrupp rothe erde used in modern water treatment systems have already been supporting the cleaning process pertaining to our most important resources for a long time.
Nowadays, swing bridges are an important part of the infrastructure which coordinates the interplay between waterways and roads. Slewing bearings made by thyssenkrupp rothe erde make it possible to open roads for ships in a targeted fashion and then close again, allowing road traffic to drive over them once more.
Having fun is paramount for lots of people and families. Ever faster and more unusual rides in amusement parks offer entertainment for grown-ups and kids alike. However, to make sure visitors have a fun and relaxing time, safety is the top priority behind the scenes. Slewing bearings made by thyssenkrupp rothe erde ensure that all of the rides’ rotational movements function reliably and smoothly.
Today, machine tools have become indispensable in manufacturing operations since they allow for products to be manufactured in a faster, better and cheaper way. Slewing bearings made by thyssenkrupp rothe erde are an important part of these machines. They ensure the smooth and reliable operation of all rotational movements. They are used to control adapter face plates in tool changers and rotary tables.
Pelletising machines help to give coarser structures to fine or powder-based products. This makes movements during transportation and handling easier and more secure. Pelletising machines are used in all kinds of industrial areas and in private too. For these, thyssenkrupp rothe erde supplies slewing bearings which make the machines’ rotations stable and precise.
The need for space is increasingly in line with the increasing volumes of rubbish everywhere. Optimised disposal processes compact the volumes of rubbish, shred bulky parts, and tear large cardboard boxes. The compacters which are used here are powered by slewing bearings made by thyssenkrupp rothe erde. They ensure disposal solutions are able to carry out their work reliably, and for the benefit of the environment.
