Robust energy chain for high-speed camera sleds

The Trackrunner from Rail & Tracking Systems is a professional camera sled for fast movements that is used in sports competitions and TV shows. The company relies on energy chains from the E6 series for the safe guidance of the cables, which can easily cope with the high accelerations even in outdoor areas at high temperatures.

Compact turntable bearing for 360° product fixtures

For the bearing and drive of the turntable, a solution was sought that was as light and compact as possible and required only a few components. A high mechanical load capacity and low speed were also required. The choice fell on lightweight and vibration-damping iglidur ® PRT rotary table bearings.

... and more success stories

We have helped many customers to improve the movement of their film and camera technology. Take a look at other customer projects in which our lightweight and robust energy chain systems, lubrication-free linear guides, slewing ring bearings and plain bushings are used: in large and small camera carriages, camera robots, turntables, jibs and focus adjustment systems for large format cameras.
