Cooperations
At product developments and research for new products and applications for S-Ply® leaf springs, Prause Durotec cooperates with industrial concerns and scientific institutions.
Bühner & Schaible / University of Karlsruhe
In cooperation with the company and the University of Karlsruhe based on the piezo effect, a new high frequency mainspring has been developed, the so-called PKF-element (Piezo - Keramische – Feder = piezo – ceramic – spring). This technology allows extremly gentle, „gliding“ conveying, which is well suitable for shock-sensitive products like pharmaceutical tablets. This world novelty is already in use in high frequency friction welding plants for thermoplastic profiles.
