Custom made thread drive | Eichenberger Gewinde AG

Our commitment is to make your product more competitive with our contribution. We develop and produce your tailor-made screw drive solution – with specific geometry, ideal materials and the most suitable hardening processes, and we manufacture the tools necessary in-house. This enables us to achieve a short time-to-market for high precision, application-specific products very cost-effectively. A long-term partnership and regular contact are the basis for further development of your perfect drive solution.

Any kind of end machining

One of our specialties is application-specific end machining - precisely tailored to your functional requirements. After cold-rolling, ball screw spindles are hardened by induction and cut to length before the spindle ends are individually machined. Cross-holes, wedge tracks, recesses, feather keys, driving surfaces, knurling and much more are part of our daily work.

Every shape of nut

Innovative solutions often require certain application-specific nuts. It may even be necessary to integrate the nut directly into a component to achieve the perfect drive solution. Sometimes particular requirements of dimension and performance parameters can only be met by using a uniquely shaped nut. Whatever the challenge, we design and manufacture the ideal nut for your drive solution.

Creative new developments

Eichenberger is your ideal partner for the development and manufacture of your custom-made screw drives of any shape and design. Our in-house production enables us to be extremely flexible and even produce complex products with short time-to-market. In doing so, we put our heart and soul into the further development of your product. Our passion for perfect motion leads to surprising screw drive solutions that will bring your innovations to the forefront of the market.
