RK Rose+Krieger brings the trade fair to your screen

During the coronavirus crisis public events are prohibited until further notice – numerous trade fairs have therefore been cancelled or postponed. True to the motto "If interested parties can't visit the trade fair, the trade fair will just have to come to them", RK Rose+Krieger is implementing a virtual trade fair tour around its exhibits of linear, profile and connecting technology. Clickable text and video information provide more detailed explanations of each product.

We look forward to your virtual visit - and look forward to seeing you again soon at one of the many trade fairs.

Sneeze / droplet guard for point of sale, open-plan offices and reception areas

The protection of employees and customers from a corona infection is currently a priority. RK Rose+Krieger has developed a sneeze guard system which can be adapted individually in size and design to suit the local conditions. Whether it's a stand-up model for counters, partitions suspended from the ceiling made from transparent plastic (polycarbonate) or larger partitioning systems for supermarket checkout areas – everything can be implemented quickly and simply.

New online product finder for the linear, profile and connection technology sectors

In order to give customers and interested parties a better understanding of the wide RK product range and make selections easier for them, the existing selection assistants have been reworked to include various optimisations and new product finders have been introduced. RK has several thousand items in its range. Given that the product range continues to grow continuously and it is even more difficult to make the correct choice, we would like to provide you with support with a functional online tool. Thanks to the new product finder you can get to your goal quicker and easier.

Height-adjustable monitor floor stand

With the new height-adjustable monitor floor stand, RK Rose+Krieger is expanding its "RK monitor mounting" product range to include a robust, ergonomic standing workstation for industry. The work surface and monitor mounting are supported by a stable triple column system and can be adjusted conveniently by hand to the size of the respective user.

MultiControl II quadro: upgraded lifting column controller for even more flexibility

Following the premium version of the tried-and-tested MultiControl II duo lifting column controller which was shown for the first time at the Hanover Messe 2019, RK Rose+Krieger is now introducing the MultiControl II quadro. A basic version and premium version of this upgraded variant will also be available for delivery. The basic version of the controller can now position up to four identical drives synchronously, for example an existing table frame comprising four Multilift II lifting columns. The premium version even provides the option of defining two different drive groups and moving them either synchronously or individually. A typical application would be a control room in which the height of the table and monitors is adjusted by just one controller.

Further new functions of the MultiControl II quadro include the service drive and the screen lock for the operating control. The service drive function helps to eliminate distortions on the system by positioning just a single drive. The screen lock protects the drives from unauthorised access.

When upgrading the controller, RK Rose+Krieger also modified the Multilift and Slimlift lifting columns and the LZ 60 electric cylinder so that they would be compatible with the new MultiControl II duo and MultiControl II quadro controllers. Together with the complete series of Multilift II and Powerlift M lifting columns, a total of ten drive elements can now be controlled.

Height adjustable monitor support arms

The connecting technology division has added two new support arm models to the RK monitor mounting systems product portfolio.

Height adjustable RK Easywork workstations – the new generation

RK Rose+Krieger has upgraded its system for task-specific, ergonomic workstations.The height of its work benches is now adjusted via the lifting columns of the Multilift II family.

EPX-II KG – linear unit with ball screw drive now also available in size 30

Just last autumn, RK Rose+Krieger launched its new twin-tube linear actuator with ball screw drive onto the market – in the standard size 40. It has now followed up with a smaller version of this high-precision, ultra-flexible linear unit, which is also 100% compatible with the existing EP(X) product range.
The polished solid shafts and ball linings of the EPX-II KG enableeven greater accuracy during dynamic movement, precise positioning in continuous operation, and ensure smooth running and a particularly long service life.

The MultiControl II lifting column control is now available in a Basic and a Premium version

In addition to its much well-known MultiControl II basic lifting column control, the Linear Technology division is now offering a version for more demanding requirements. The MultiControll II premium offers three additional software functions: an integrated collision detection "Smart Product Protection", as well as absolute and relative positioning. The software function "Absolute Positioning" enables high-precision travel to a pre-defined position within the overall adjustment range. The function "Relative Positioning" enables gradual positioning in relation to the current position of the drive.

The integrated collision detection SPP detects obstacles during up and down travel – regardless of load or other ambient parameters – and stops in time to protect the product. Customers can adjust the delicacy of feel to suit their own requirements. Because the technology is completely integrated in the control, there are no protruding contours and no further assembly steps are required, which makes the MultiControl II Premium a truly user-friendly Plug&Play solution.

Solid Clamps with ball joint – four new models for even more flexibility

The product family of aluminium Solid Clamp tube connectors has a new addition: size 30 base clamps, sleeve clamps and hinge clamps are now also available for delivery with integrated ball joint.

RK Monoline MT – linear unit with Omega drive

The new member of the RK Monoline product line is based on the roller guide concept of the RK MonoLine Z 80, but has a different drive concept: on the RK Monline MT, the timing belt does not circulate, but is driven in the area of the guide carriage.

RK Monoline Z 60 – range extended to include new size

The RK Monoline range of roller guides with timing belt drives has been extended to include size 60. The four standard sizes 40, 60, 80 and 120 are available. The new RK MonoLine Z 60 can withstand loads of up to 2,800 N, reaches travel speeds of up to 10 m/s with permissible accelerations of up to max. 20 ms², and represents excellent value for money.

New single-tube linear unit E-II made by stainless steel

Just in time for the Hanover trade fair, the stainless steel version of the popular actuator is now available in the common sizes 30 and 40. The E-II stainless steel is 100% corrosion-resistant and, compared to standard units, it has an upgraded temperature range of -30 to +80°C – a further increase is even available on request.

Lifting column Multilift II clean – ideally suited to use in the clean room

There is once again a new addition to the successful product family of elegant and durable Multilift II lifting columns. The standard variant and a telescoping version (Multilift II telescope) were very recently followed by the Multilift II impact with integrated damping, the Multilift II ESD with profiles with an electrically conductive connection and the Multilift II safety with integrated drop protection. The Multilift II clean has now been added to the range. It has been deliberately developed for use in the clean room.

Monitor mounting compact

RK Rose+Krieger now supplies its tried-and-tested RK monitor mounting for operating terminals, monitors and other display devices with a short construction length as the "compact" version. The new mounting is 50 mm shorter than the respective standard mounting and can be used flexibly and universally wherever there is restricted available space. The variable fixing principle with half shells and reducing inserts for round and square tubes allows installation on profiles and tubes with edge lengths or diameters of 20, 25 or 30 mm.

Telescopic monitor support arm offers even greater flexibility

RK Rose+Krieger has expanded its support arm system for its RK monitor mounting with a telescopic support arm (basic length: 495 mm). In its extended state (720 mm), it is designed for monitors, display devices and operating terminals weighing up to 5 kg. With its new swivel arm, RK Rose+Krieger expands its combination options and enables greater ergonomic adaptation of end devices to the working environment.

EP/EPX linear units

RK Rose+Krieger has expanded its EP(X)II twin tube units by adding a size 30 version. Higher precision and lower tolerances of the mounting surfaces to one another are the key features that characterise the new improved version of the EP/EPX linear units for the occasional through to the frequent movement and positioning of medium to high loads in any assembly position. The robust twin tube unit compensates for high bending moments during manual and motor-driven adjustments, is compatible with its predecessors and is easier to maintain and clean. Contributing towards the ease of maintenance is the new lead nut concept: the split lead nut enables simple replacement in the case of wear and tear – no need to dismantle the linear actuator.
