Conveyor and Lifting Technology

In conveyor and lifting technology, components are exposed to high dynamic alternating loads on a daily basis.

At the same time, they must enable precise movements, function reliably over the long term, and meet high safety requirements. Spherical plain bearings and rod ends play a central role when it comes to mobility, stability, and controlled power transmission.

FLURO offers a broad product portfolio of spherical plain bearings and rod ends specifically designed for applications in conveyor and lifting technology. Our products are used wherever rotating, swiveling, or oscillating movements occur under load.

Typical Application Areas

• Conveyor systems and conveying equipment
• Hoists and lifting systems
• Crane systems and crane travel units
• Heavy-duty lifting devices
• Connecting elements in mechanical kinematics

In conveyor technology, spherical plain bearings and rod ends ensure a safe and smooth sequence of movements, even with changing loads and high cycle rates. In lifting technology, they provide the necessary freedom of movement with high load capacity, for example, in lifting arms, rope guides, or load-handling attachments.

For applications where standard spherical plain bearings reach their limits, FLURO offers high-performance high-performance spherical plain bearings with the proven high-performance fabric FLUROglide. FLUROglide WEAR SOLID is designed for very high static and dynamic loads and is characterized by particularly high wear resistance. FLUROglide MEDIA SOLID is also resistant to moisture, grease, and oil, making it suitable for demanding operating conditions in industrial environments.

If even high-performance spherical plain bearings do not cover all requirements, FLURO realizes tailor-made special designs as part of FLUROselect. Based on many years of experience, we develop individual joint solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective application, load, and installation situation – from design to series production.
