Requirements

Product: Thrust bearing in a compact design

Customer: Globally active, European manufacturer for control technology
Application: Control valve for air flow regulation
Function Product: Valve actuator for air flow regulation in laboratory applications
Specialty: The low torque of the thrust bearing < 8mNm ensures efficient operation
Annual volume: 250,000 parts

Chosen solution

Solution: A compact thrust bearing with grooved washer and precise balls made of 100Cr6 bearing steel, assembled by Ekko-Meister. The plastic cage is made of reinforced PA66. The compact thrust bearing is greased for life.

From the initial solution with 3 individual parts, we have developed a closed assembly. This not only eliminated the faulty manual part’s assembly on the customer’s assembly line.
The economic efficiency was also greatly increased.

The compact bearing is manufactured, assembled, greased (lifetime lubrication) and 100% tested by us.

Requirements

Product: Plastic connector with overmolded, coated metal contacts

Customer: Leading manufacturer for components in pressure measurement technology
Application: Sensors for various applications
Function Product: Connector including pressure and flow sensor
Specialty: cutting function of the coated metal pins > 90N / ultrasonically welded assembly
Annual volume: 2 million pieces

Chosen solution

Solution: Connector made of high-performance plastic with an external thread. Metal pins made of CuSn6 with Ni + Sn coating.

When the connector is inserted into the device, the metal pins cut the stranded wire, guaranteeing a perfect contact.
This applies a great deal of force on the pins, which must not bend.

The component is stamped, loaded, overmolded, and 100% tested by our in-house developed automatic assembly machine.
This project is a co-development from prototyping to series production.
