Sectors & applications
Eight decades of this product family started in aircraft control rods. Today the same motion — turning, tilting, swivelling — shows up across industry. VORBAL specifies PREMIUM, CLASSIC, and BASIC against that duty.
Pantographs, rail connections, brakes, bogie equipment, and door systems. PREMIUM, CLASSIC, and BASIC all appear in rolling-stock linkages.
Food processing Taste is special. The joint has to stay clean.PREMIUM and CLASSIC parts, including stainless, on chocolate, ice cream, and onboard fish processing.
Packaging Packed and delivered without a seized joint.Pharmaceutical, food, and tobacco packaging lines use heavy-duty rod ends and spherical-plain bearings, including stainless.
Automotive & motorcycle Time, speed, and a joint that does not wander.Steering dampers, chassis linkages, and production fixtures. BASIC spherical-plain bearings are common in damper and cylinder ends.
Hydraulics Cylinders need an end that takes the radial load.Hydraulic rod ends, welding studs, and CLASSIC spherical-plain bearings for construction machinery and industrial cylinders.
Pneumatics Cylinder ends to DIN ISO 8139.Female-thread rod ends and clevises for pneumatic cylinder manufacturers.
Mechanical engineering The full sliding and rolling range.Antifriction and sliding rod ends and spherical-plain bearings, maintenance-free or required, in steel, stainless, and aluminium.
Automation & robotics More output, same envelope.Customer linkages where cycle time and repeatability both matter.
Agricultural machinery More hours in dust and weather.Specials for implement and hitch motion on agricultural OEMs.
Renewable energy Solar and wind motion, without a grease schedule in the nacelle.CLASSIC and BASIC parts for solar tracking and wind-turbine auxiliary motion.
Medical engineering Precision in a mechanism that protects people.Small-series, high-precision joints for medical motion.
Pharmaceutical Specials, including small series.Application support from layout through series production.
Conveyor & logistics The joint behind the sorter.Rod ends and spherical-plain bearings in conveying and warehouse motion.
Ship & crane Load, weather, and a joint that can be serviced.Intelligent, serviceable joints for marine and lifting equipment.
Motorsport Speed with a known clearance.PREMIUM rolling joints and lightweight aluminium CLASSIC parts for race and high-speed test.
Aerospace & aircraft The original duty: flight-control motion.Rod ends and spherical-plain bearings specified to a known envelope for aerospace-adjacent industrial and ground support use.
