Steel profiles are used in almost all areas of industry and in a wide range of applications. Here are some to give you an idea of the scope of utilisation.
Linear guides
In general mechanical engineering, profiles are used above all as linear guides and prism rails, but other components in linear guide technology are also made from profiles. Included here are bogie trucks or components for ball bushings.
Automotive industry
Steel profiles are used in the automotive industry in various areas to meet all kinds of requirements. Included here are cross discs for the metering units of diesel injection pumps, gear components or components for electric drives, e.g. for seat adjustment or electric windows. The toothed wheel profile shown here is a key part of an electric window lifter.
Medical technology
Profiles used in this field range from bone marrow nails to guides. As this photo of a machined guide rail shows, faultless surfaces are achieved here. For most medical applications, anti-allergic and of course non-corrosive materials must be used.
Wood processing machines
ZOLLERN profiles are used in wood processing machines as holders, plane blades made of high-speed steel, tensioning bars, thrust pieces, clamping bars or shavings devices for planning heads. Shavings devices used for complex contours must meet extremely high shape tolerances.
Textile machines
In textile machine engineering, profiles are used as draw-off rollers, thread guides, needle rails or slide rails as well as axes. For functional or optical reasons, the demands on the surface quality are very high.
Energy technology
There is a wide range of applications for steel profiles in energy technology. For instance, ZOLLERN steel profiles are used as switch components and switch axes, and partly also as turbine blades. The turbine blades shown here are made of high-temperature-resistant and very high-temperature-resistant steels.
Hunting and sport firearms
Hunting and sport firearms parts require especially high surface quality, shape and measurement tolerances. The use of ZOLLERN steel profiles in breech blocks, triggers, hammers and barrels is proof of their high quality.
Toothed wheel profiles
Profiles can be used to manufacture toothed wheels with all conceivable tooth variations. They offer special advantages for components with teeth in asymmetric shapes, as shown here in the profile of a door closing device.
Printing machines
Tensioning and clamping bars made of steel profiles are used in printing machines. They achieve narrow radii and undercuttings together with narrow measuring tolerances.
