Discover the Franke LEL Bearing: Lightweight Performance, Precision Built…
Watch the LEL Bearing Being Assembled
We’ve created a behind-the-scenes video that takes you through the construction of the LEL bearing, from the placement of the wire races to the final assembly. It’s a rare look at the craftsmanship, care, and precision that go into every product we make.
This is more than a bearing… it’s a solution for engineers who want to reduce weight, improve efficiency, and rethink what’s possible in motion design.
When your application demands maximum strength in minimum space, the Franke LEL bearing delivers. Designed with a lightweight aluminium housing and our signature wire race technology, the LEL bearing is engineered for performance, precision, and total design freedom.
The LEL bearing combines ultra-light construction with high load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for applications in robotics, automation, aerospace, and medical equipment. It provides smooth, reliable motion with reduced weight, without compromising stiffness or durability.
Inside the LEL, our patented wire raceways guide the motion with absolute precision. Unlike conventional bearings, the raceways are not dependent on the housing for accuracy. This means the housing can be made from aluminium, composite materials, or even 3D-printed components, giving engineers total freedom in system design.
But what really sets the LEL apart is how it’s built and we’re letting you see it for yourself.
