Whenever adjustable spindles with control knobs or small handwheels need to be opera- ted and secured against twisting and turning, Elesa+Ganter‘s clamping elements GN 826 are just the job. Spindles for manual adjustment are normally operated using control knobs, control handwheels and handwheels. This virtually universal solution works perfectly but it needs an extra element to secure the position of the spindle against dislodging forces caused by vibrations for instance. For this job Elesa+Ganter has a pretty inconspicuous but very practical standard element in its product range.

Available under the standard GN 826 this clamping element made of black anodized aluminium with its reliable and gentle wedging mechanism allows the stepless stopping or braking right through to the full clamping of the spindle. Mounted between adjusting element and spindle bearing the desired spindle mobility can so be accomplished depending on requirement. Using a clamping screw the brass clamping wedge is pushed over the spindle axis and the secure loosening action is ensured by the clamping screw moving along when turned back.

If fast and frequent re-clamping actions are required the design version with a compact adjustable handle is the best choice. In its Type H it takes the place of the clamping screw which is normally adjusted using a hexagonal box spanner. To account for a wide variety of different installation situations the ring-shaped standard element can also be mounted with the clamping screw pointing to the right or the left.

The GN 826 has also been designed such that it can function as a spindle store for axes diameters ranging from 8 to 10 millimetres. Like virtually every Elesa+Ganter standard element GN 826 also conforms with RoHS.

Elesa+Ganter’s stainless steel three-star knobs are particularly suitable for applications requiring a high degree of hygiene. With the new GN 5345 / GN 5345.4 three-star version, Elesa+Ganter has made a big step forward in functionality.

Always mindful of the ultimate application, Elesa+Ganter manufactures stainless steel star knobs from a single piece of metal. For a good reason: multi-part elements invariably have joints and gaps where particles of dirt and bacteria can settle, there is now no way dirt and bacteria can settle on these new star knobs. The sealed surface and the large radii at the corners and edges make cleaning and disinfecting the knobs easy work. Free of problem zones, these standard elements are specially suitable for the food industry and for use in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. With the GN 5335, Elesa+Ganter has for many years offered a hygienically optimised standard part, with an ergonomically improved family of knobs now following under the designation GN 5345.

With its characteristic shape, the new three-star knob with three recessed shell-type grips delivers a much better transmission of power, allowing higher torques when tightening the knobs by hand. The GN 5345 three-star knob is available with matt blasted surface. Next to the hygienically perfect design variant with tapped blind hole and sealed front, Elesa+Ganter also offers a variant with threaded through hole or an unthreaded version for special threads. Available in stainless steel grades AISI 303 and AISI 316L (GN 5345.4) and with thread sizes M6 to M12, the knobs conforming with RoHS are also a practical and attractive choice in perfectly normal applications, because appearance, touch and functionality harmonise in perfection.

Elesa+Ganter is adding telescopic slides to its portfolio. With a wide range of extension types, additional functions and dimensions, these slides can handle loads of between 28 and 310 kg per pair.

Elesa+Ganter has had standard linear guidance parts in its product range for some time. The tempered materials used for standard cam roller guides and linear slides guarantee precision and wear-free operation.
Elesa+Ganter is adding 13 new variants to complement these standard series telescopic rails made of rolled sheet metal with a range of cross-sections, materials, features and load-bearing capacities.

Elesa+Ganter designed the range of new standard telescopic rails to be suitable for use in a number of different areas. Telescopic rails are traditionally used for mechanical engineering and plant construction purposes, but are also ideal for other areas, such as vehicle and storage technology, or aviation and the medical sector. Stainless steel telescopic slides are also available off-the-shelf along with FDA-compliant lubricants.

Depending on the length of the extension (between 300 and 1,500 mm), the telescopic slides are made up of two, three or four interconnected slides. These slides are guided by ball bearings, which are securely embedded by ball cages.This makes partial extension, full extension and even over-extension a possibility. Elesa+Ganter’s portfolio even includes full extensions in both directions as a standard element. The product range includes a wide range of solutions in terms of features: Latches, dampening systems, self-retracting mechanisms and detach functions are available for each type. As usual Elesa+Ganter can also provide customized adaptations for customers.

Despite the enormous variety on offer, Elesa+Ganter has a way to keep things clear for its customers. A matrix overview shows the main features of all telescopic slides at a glance. Elesa+Ganter’s tried and tested standard sheets provide details for each individual slide type. This user-friendly approach extends to mounting Elesa+Ganter uses a clear table to show the relevant fastening holes for countersunk or socket cap screws instead of providing a confusing overview of mounting holes.

Elesa+Ganter offer a wide range of hinges made of engineering plastics, steel, stainless steel, aluminium or zinc-alloy and with different types of assembly, rotation angles, load resistance values or with integrated safety switch. Such a wide range of variants in production allows customers to choose the suitable hinge for their application whatever the market sector.

The brand new CFMR spring hinges enrich the range of plastic hinges. In fact this new technical solution allows the automatic closing or opening of doors, thanks to an integrated return spring housed in the rotating pin.
CFMR body is made of SUPER-technopolymer one of the latest evolutions in engineering polymer materials characterised by high mechanical and thermal performance.

A new technopolymer combining favourably the advantages of engineering plastics with metal ones.

The aluminium rotating pin and the stainless steel return spring guarantee maximum wear and corrosion resistance.

To suit at the best different applications, the hinges are available in different standard executions with opened (CFMR-NO) or closed (CFMR-NC) return position and with spring with different stiffness corresponding to different maximum return torque (0.35 Nm and 0.70 Nm).

CFMR hinges have undergone specific stress test in our laboratories where the return spring has successfully exceeded 100,000 cycles without affecting torque values.

Furthermore, it is available without return spring (CFMR-NS) for a better aesthetical integration of the hinges on the machinery on which they are mounted
