RE castors address the mainstream of industrial uses from medical equipment through to electronics, storage and manufacturing and feature twin ball race chassis in swivel and total lock variants, as well as fixed types. Twin race being particularly beneficial in minimising the effort required to align the castor in moving away from rest. Standard wheel configurations include heavy duty polyurethane moulded onto cast aluminium cores and roller bearing axles at the top end through polyurethane over technopolymer, monolithic polyamide, to non-marking thermoplastic rubber or vulcanised rubber and plain bearing axles.

Elesa offers a comprehensive range of high-quality handles for the mechanical engineering industry, all of which come at an affordable price. If you need bridge handles, safety handles, flush pull handles, tubular handles, pull handles, fixed and revolving handles or fold-away handles, we have the best choice anywhere on the market. Materials available include technopolymer, steel, stainless steel, and composite construction in traditional presentations such as “T” types, grip handles and fold away designs as well as modern aesthetic and functional styles. Anti-microbial and clean room versions compliment the range.

Handles for special purposes can still be found in standard series from our detailed development program which caters for instruments and equipment as well as for machines and for protection purposes. Other “special” standard handles include stainless steel and “clean” products for medical and food processing equipment.

Our plastic and metal hinges feature style and strength with features such as friction brake, tamper proof, built in safety switch, adjustable friction, detent/indexing and other variants for special purposes. Design configurations include Bullet and Flap/butt types with front or rear mounting in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide based (PA) technopolymer, Zinc die, stainless steel and aluminium. There is also a detailed User Guide on our website and in our catalogue which covers weight capacities and mounting configurations for optimal installation and use.

Toggle clamps for housings, workpieces, jigs, moulds etc come in manual and pneumatic versions, hook clamps with spring over-centre action also have adjustable versions. Where doors or panels require rotational latch closure they are available with simple handle or with handle and key lock to provide security on enclosures and cabinets for personal storage or electrical/electronic cabinets.

Machine elements from Elesa cover a welter of innovative standard solutions from grub screws and thrust pads to cam locking levers as well as collars, rings and washers. High performance ball transfer units and magnets complete the machine elements offering.

The Elesa range of Control Elements is designed for ergonomic use, aesthetic style, ease of use and competitive cost – it includes knurled control knobs, flanges and scale rings, handwheels, grip knobs, indicator knobs and control levers designed to suit industrial and public area applications.

Indexing plungers come in many sizes often to fit into confined spaces – ours come in a variety of materials and sizes with a range of features from safety rest position to locking and cam actions. Ball lock pins and spring plungers in plastic, steel and stainless steel complete the index and position product portfolio.

Handwheels and crank handles whether spoked, solid or multi-arm offer comfortable control for a wide range of industrial type equipment from machine tools to library storage – they come in moulded technopolymer, reinforced phenolic bassed Duroplast, aluminium, pressed steel or cast iron, – with fixed or folding handles. They are supplemented by a range of single arm crank handles for situations where a wheel configuration is not required.

Vibration damping elements are a mature and pretty ubiquitous item – often hidden away inside or under engines, motors, fans or similar. Elesa are pleased to announce a complete new range of damper and cushioning elements with steel and stainless steel base mounting.

Elesa’s DVA range is formed in natural rubber based on zinc/steel and AISI 304 stainless mounts with male or female attachments. They have been designed to damp vibrations, shocks and noises produced by moving bodies or vibrating masses which can cause malfunctioning and reduction of the machine lifespan and/or of the adjacent equipment, or even operator damage to health. Essentially operating in compression or shear, double ended cylindrical units are often required to carry heavy equipment loads while on the other hand single mounting buffers in pad or conical format are ideal for absorbing energy on impact during equipment operation or perhaps door closure or similar.

The DVA range is available in black natural rubber to standard hardness 55 Shore A, as well as 40 Shore A or 70 Shore A to custom specifications.

Levelling elements or adjustable levelling feet not only allow adjustment and correction of equipment levels – they often incorporate a significant amount of vibration damping – they are available with bases in reinforced polyamide, steel, stainless steel with stems in steel or stainless steel. Complementary items include Conveyor or flexible automation components as well as clamp mountings for installation of magnetic/optical sensors on conveyors and other equipment.

Elesa have a long background in instrumentation as demonstrated by these gravity position indicators and positive drive indicators with matching knobs and handwheels to enable control with indication in the same standard component if required. Digital position “box” indicators and electronic counterparts are ideal for spindle position monitoring of equipment such as paper finishing or packaging machines.

Clamping elements in the Elesa range are designed for ergonomic use, aesthetic style, ease of use and competitive cost – they include : three arm handwheels and knobs, lobe knobs, wing knobs, and grip knobs. 

Clamping levers in glass reinforced polyamide, zinc die and stainless steel are complimented by adjustable clamping handles in a huge variety which also include chrome finished and safety adjustable versions.

Plugs, breather caps and level indicators fulfil vital security roles in hydraulic systems ensuring that fluid is monitored and maintained in proper working order even in rugged off road situations.

Rod ends are suitable for rotary, oscillating and linear movementseven in particularly aggressive environments and when water or humidity, fine dusts, dirt, fabrics and machining residues are present. The shafts rotary or oscillating movement takes place on the inner diameter of the spherical cap made of self lubricating material.

Fork joints are suitable for the actuation of pneumatic cylinders even when water and humidity are present. FJT fork joints can be located by pin and seeger ring or by one piece clip pin.
