Technological progress continues to advance rapidly. Today, in the face of global competition, companies are finding that quality and reliability alone will not get them far. The world is changing and asking for better, faster, cheaper. To exceed customer expectations requires the desire to innovate in the development of production technologies and a willingness to change to efficient manufacturing processes. Eichenberger, the Swiss thread rolling specialist has succeeded in establishing itself in the drive technology niche with tailor-made, customized screw driving solutions. There is a constant demand for solutions to practical tasks. Somewhere there is always something that needs moving. Threading expert Eichenberger realized this a long time ago and has been able to successfully use the opportunities it offers. Their specialists listen to customers, give advice, design, build, test, optimize and manufacture. This is why their custom-tailored ball screw drives are being used everywhere, in medical, electrical, and automotive systems, as well as in automation, aeronautics and even in aerospace.

Oil is the black gold under the earth’s surface. To reach this precious resource, innovative and extraction technologies are required. Before the fossil fuel reaches us in the form of the familiar end products we use every day, it not only has a history stretching back over millions of years but also has travelled in a long journey. For the last five decades, Eichenberger Gewinde AG’s principal activity has been the design and manufacture of highly accurate and cleverly-designed screw drives. It uses this wealth of experience and technical know-how to support its partners in their process of innovation. Dynamic-mechanical functional elements are highly adaptable, and this means they can contribute significantly to the success of drive technology projects. The Swiss thread specialist is aware of this and makes use of this potential.

In mechanical engineering, people are always looking for new solutions. Eichenberger Gewinde AG, a company based in Switzerland, applies this principle every day, in a spirit of innovation based on constructive dialogue with its customers. This is supported by professionally-executed project management, enabling the development of solutions which satisfy all partners.

Electricity is, figuratively speaking, the lifeblood of our modern society and economy. Without it, nothing is possible. Circuit breakers are essential for the safe operation of our power supply. Among others, their task is to turn the entire output of a power plant on and off (in the gigawatt range) and to direct voltages up to 1,500 kV. The cold-rolled Carry ball screw from Burg (CH) plays an extremely important and responsible key part in this.

When spindle, nut, ball bearings and lubrication work perfectly together. | Flexibility and adaptability as well as reliability and safety are not just the guiding principles of Eichenberger Gewinde AG, they are also the most important demands placed on a component of the new generation of gearchange systems for heavy vehicles: the electromechanical clutch. As a thread-rolling specialist, the main activity of Eichenberger Gewinde AG is the rolling or cold forming of threads and the manufacture of ball screws and lead screws (spindles and nuts). The objective pursued daily by the Swiss company, applying its substantial know-how and the latest production methods, is to support customers in the creation of innovative, bespoke solutions. Nowadays, it is highly important for industry and society to find ways to conserve limited raw materials. Key to this is improved efficiency in the use of resources and energy. But how to aggregate resources and energy, systematize workflows and optimize processes when customer requirements are constantly growing and operating costs are simultaneously being reduced? In many cases, new technologies can provide answers.
