Landau, Germany — During K 2025, Wickert Maschinenbau GmbH introduced a fully automated spray-agent application system designed to improve quality

NETZSCH Pumps & Systems Announces the NEMO® MY Magnetically Coupled Pump
Hermetically sealed to ensure no leakage of hazardous liquids or gases

Duolec Industrial Gear Oil features Duolec®, a proprietary dual-acting additive that significantly enhances the oil’s load-carrying capacity and provides unparalleled protection against wear. This unique technology forms a molecular barrier on metal surfaces, effectively reducing friction and preventing destructive metal-to-metal contact. As a result, tire manufacturers can expect extended gear life, reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.

ROEMHELD redesigns sturdy and safe arch clamps for presses, injection molding, rubber and forging applications. For the harshest applications, as well as dirty, hot environments up to 250° C

The president of SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly), Dr. Winston “Wole” Soboyejo, and postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Tabiri Kwayie Asumadu, have published a revolutionary new paper titled, “Robust Macroscale Superlubricity on Carbon-Coated Metallic Surfaces.” This paper explores an innovative approach to reducing friction on metallic surfaces – a significant advancement that could have major real-world impacts.
These findings are significant for a number of practical reasons. In the automotive industry, more than 30 percent of fuel in passenger vehicles is used to overcome friction, so these novel coatings can help to drastically improve fuel efficiency. In manufacturing and industrial machinery, they could help to reduce wear and tear, leading to massive cost savings and decreasing the 1-4% of countries’ GDP that is spent on friction-related equipment issues. In electronic devices, friction at a minute scale can present large-scale challenges that coatings could help to alleviate.
