FST explores requirements for seals and damping elements in robotics applications
Weinheim, Germany – In its latest white paper, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) explores key developments across the robotics landscape, from industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots) to emerging humanoid robots.
In particular, the FST study focuses in on sealing and damping solutions, which play a critical role in ensuring reliability, durability, precision, and overall system performance.
While often overlooked, these components are essential for enabling smooth mechanical motion and protecting sensitive systems in demanding operating environments.
The white paper also examines which materials, sealing profiles, and surface solutions are best suited to meet the performance requirements of future generations of robots.
