Engineered for Heavy-Duty Linear Motion

For more than four decades, WINKEL has specialized in linear systems and material handling. At the heart of their products are WINKEL combined bearings, which handle radial and axial loads at the same time while running inside matched steel guide profiles. The result is a rugged, low-friction guidance system that holds its alignment even under heavy and off-center loads.

That means:

Smooth, controlled motion under heavy and eccentric loads
Load capacity from 10 kg up to 100 tons within one modular system
Long service life in demanding, high-cycle applications
Flexible integration into custom machinery and engineered systems

A Complete Linear Guide System

WINKEL offers a modular portfolio of components designed to work together as a complete linear guidance solution—from standard duty to extreme loads, high temperatures and washdown environments.

Winkel products include:

Combined bearings in fixed, eccentric-adjustable and shim-adjustable versions
Heavy-duty, precision and jumbo bearings for higher loads and tighter tolerances
Specialty bearings, including high-temperature, stainless steel, and VULKOLLAN® and polyamide-tread versions for quieter, faster operation
Guide profiles, including standard and precision U- and I-profiles, jumbo profiles, and stainless steel and aluminum options
Flange plates, adjustable bearing units and mounting accessories
Wheel blocs and monorail systems

Because every component is designed as part of one system, selection and integration are simpler from the start.

Built for Real-World Applications

WINKEL linear guides are trusted wherever heavy loads need to move with precision and repeatability.

Common applications include:

Material handling and warehouse logistics
Lifting systems, lift masts and forklift trucks
Gantries, linear axes and robot tracks
Automation and assembly equipment
Transfer carts, cranes and storage and retrieval systems
Automotive and heavy industrial manufacturing

Wherever loads are heavy and precision counts, WINKEL delivers.
