One of Franke GmbH's main products is a highly dynamic wire race bearing for an application in medical technology. Wire race bearings are based on a simple but ingenious principle. Individual wire bearing rings have a raceway that is precisely adapted to the diameter of the rolling elements. This means that the rolling process does not take place directly between the rolling body and the surrounding structure, but with low friction on the four open race rings. This design principle allows the surrounding structure to be freely designed with regard to geometry and material selection.
