KIS ANTRIEBSTECHNIK GMBH & CO. KG

Similar in design to yoke type track rollers with axial guidance, our KIS cam rollers are based on needle roller or cylindrical roller bearings. Instead of an inner ring, they are equipped with a solid bolt. This serves as an inner ring replacement and is provided with a fastening thread. They are ideal for applications that require high rigidity, load carrying capacity and guiding accuracy. Our stud type track rollers are used, for example, in conveyor technology, machine tools and medical technology. Depending on the application requirements, the KIS range offers a wide variety of designs. We are happy to advise you on the right solution for your application!

Our KIS slewing rings offer precise rotation technology to reliably connect two or more parts in your application. They are available in a wide variety of designs. As high load-bearing machine elements, they can safely absorb radial, axial and tilting moment loads with one bearing point and thus significantly reduce the effort required for the design of the adjacent construction. Sealed and lubricated, our slewing rings offer long-term performance even under demanding operating conditions. They are used in the fields of mechanical engineering, automation and robotics, among others. We are happy to work with you to develop the right slewing ring for your specific application requirements.

Our KIS hybrid bearings combine the best of two worlds - the robustness of classic rolling bearings (or stainless steel bearings) and the efficiency of state-of-the-art materials. With an optimised combination of high-quality steel rings and precise ceramic balls, our hybrid bearings offer outstanding strength and durability. Rolling elements made of ceramic offer a current-insulating property. These hybrid bearings have the same dimensions as comparable all-steel bearings and can significantly improve the reliability and robustness of machinery and equipment. In particular, they show their advantages in applications where the bearings are confronted with contamination from abrasive particles, insufficient lubrication, vibrations or current passage. At KIS, we optimise our materials for hybrid bearings to ensure flawless performance in applications under critical conditions at all times.

Designed to efficiently support axial and radial forces and tilting moment loads, crossed roller bearings are suitable for applications subject to high loads and speeds. Due to the special crosswise arrangement of the cylindrical rollers in crossed roller bearings, designs with two bearing positions can often be reduced to one. Due to their high rigidity and running accuracy, they offer enormous precision and are used, for example, in robotics, medical technology and lathes. Depending on the application requirements, we at KIS manufacture cross rollers in different configurations. We are happy to advise you on the optimum solution for your application.

Our all-ceramic bearings are characterised by their high corrosion resistance to seawater and various chemicals. They are therefore used, for example, in the chemical industry, in the food and beverage industry, in shipping and in chlorine systems. We can manufacture our full ceramic ball bearings with rings and balls made of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) or silicon nitride (Si3N4), depending on the application. They are available with full balls or with cages made of PEEK or PTFE. The runout accuracies common with precision steel bearings cannot be achieved with all-ceramic bearings, so speed values have to be reduced. Ceramic materials are harder than steel, but also more brittle. Silicon nitride in particular has a low elongation at break and tends to break under tensile stress without prior plastic deformation. We take this into account when selecting the optimum bearing solution for your specific requirements.

Customised system or individual part solutions are our core competence at KIS. We develop complete solutions for you based on our own KIS products and combine them with our comprehensive service for drive technology. Whether it's a careful selection of individual components or proper assembly ensuring your application functions perfectly: As bearing specialists based in Germany, we’re there for every step of the process, from development and construction, through monitoring of production and assembly, to quality inspections and practical tests.
