Products for coffee machines

Fully automatic coffee machine, espresso maker, or French press. However the coffee is prepared, moving components are everywhere. Linear plain bearings for lowering the coffee outlet, gears for transporting the beans, lead screws and nuts for building up pressure in the brewing unit.
The sensitive installation positions require lubrication-free and sometimes food-compatible components that also work with little maintenance. They are also compact, move smoothly, last a long time, and do not rattle.

Your benefits: Tech up ▲ Cost down 

  • Completely lubrication-free thanks to incorporated solid lubricants
  • Long service life, no maintenance
  • Dirt-resistant
  • Corrosion-free
  • Various materials for any requirement
  • FDA compliance and EU10/2011 conformity also available

Products in coffee machines and their areas of application

xiros ball bearings

Ball bearings

Rotary knobs with smooth bearing support

Rotary controllers on coffee machines are easy to implement with ball bearings. Simple, smooth adjustment is just as important here as absolute bearing freedom from lubrication and maintenance. Corrosion-resistant products also prevent premature wear.

Gears

Gears

Lubrication-free bean transport

Transporting coffee beans to the grinder requires gears. Lubrication-free components are especially important in the immediate vicinity of the coffee beans. But low wear and long service life also play a role here.

Low-profile drylin N linear guides

drylin N

Corrosion-free outlet design

Linear bearings are used in coffee machines for such functions as lowering the outlet to dispense the coffee and pulling the machine head out for maintenance. Infinitely adjustable, maintenance-free, lubrication-free, and corrosion-resistant, guidance systems extend machine service life.

dryspin lead screw technology

dryspin

Hygienic in the brewing unit

The coffee is produced with a lead screw that presses hot water through the coffee powder at high pressure. Since the lead screw and nut contact liquids, they must be completely lubricant-free and hygienic. And there must be no corrosion.

Plain bearing iglidur Z

iglidur Z

Powerful in the grinder

The grinder generates high forces when it grinds beans into fine powder. The burrs are guided by plain bearings designed for high forces. And the contamination caused by coffee powder makes dirt resistance and freedom from lubrication necessary.

iglidur A181 plain bearings

A181 plain bearings

Food-compatible in the brew group

Components involved in the brewing process must comply with hygiene and food compliance standards. Plain bearing made from the iglidur A181 special material are therefore compliant with FDA regulations and EU10/2011.
