The decisive difference between an ordinary ball bearing and a Franke wire race bearing is in the raceways. In a wire race bearing, the rolling elements do not roll on solid housing rings, but on high performance wires. The flexibility of this principle makes it possible to design more freely and simply, in order to develop better products.
“Thanks to their special design, the innovative »Franke Wire Race Bearings« promise more room for innovation compared to conventional ball bearings.”
This is how the jury justified the awarding of the German Design Award in the “Excellent Product Design” category.
