Bearing LDH Drive
Quiet and Powerful
SPECIAL ISSUE 10/2009
LDH Drive, the new Franke special bearing, impresses with
its quiet operation, speed and energy efficiency
Customer-specific Antifriction
Bearings are our speciality. You
tell us your requirements – we
do everything to satisfy them.
With the LDH Drive Franke has
developed a bearing that meets
customers‘ demands for low noise
development at high speed.
Most quiet operation at high speed is
especially important for CT bearings
in medical technology. Franke has
been working on continual improvements
to this criterion for years. The
development of the LDH Drive is a
further step in this direction.
The bearing is capable of speeds up
to 300 rpm. The noise emission is
less than 60 dB (A) at that speed.
We have also integrated a direct drive
inside the double-row bearing – a
system solution that benefits our
customers in many different ways.
Firstly, they get a complete system of
bearing and drive, so they do not
have to purchase a drive or have one
manufactured at great expense. Additionally,
this variant is also extremely
energy-saving, which lowers costs
and also protects the environment.
Customer requirements determine
the end product for all Franke special
bearings. Customised solutions are
our speciality.
