Our state-of-the-art components for telescopic covers.


Proven harness mechanics with new bearings.
Harness mechanics with sliding bearings

Our proven SXM harness mechanics ensure an impact-free expansion / compression of telescopic covers. This eliminates the impact noise of the boxes. Force peaks that appear when the boxes strike against each other with covers without harnesses do not occur. Especially at high travel speeds the material load is reduced significantly, thus increasing the service life of the covers.



Harness mechanics with sliding bearing
  • longer service life due to ideal combination of materials
  • low system friction
  • tolerance-free simultaneous running of all boxes


Longer service life – moves even easier.

Instead of metal washers, now sliding bearings of special plastic with a self-lubricating effect are used. The reduced coefficient of friction means that the harnesses run even more easily – the entire system friction is reduced, and the service life is increased. The sliding bearings used are designed for dry running, but are also resistant to oil and greased and are extremely suitable for installation in machine tools.

  • Maintenance-free harness with sliding bearing of high-performance plastic.
  • Hinge elements with sliding bearings on all hinges.
