News from the trade press
When standard solutions reach their limits, projects with genuine technical added value emerge.
It is precisely these applications that regularly see ttv featured in specialist media and industry portals. Working closely with editorial teams, we produce practical technical reports on sealing and plain bearing technology that address real-world challenges in industry and mechanical engineering.
We provide your editorial team with technical articles, case studies, images and background information – thoroughly researched and highly relevant to your readers’ practical needs.

When hydraulics reach their limits
Why sealing technology is key to efficiency and service life.
It often starts off in an unspectacular way. A hydraulic cylinder loses a little power, a valve responds slowly, and maintenance intervals become shorter. In many cases, the first thoughts turn to pressure, the control system or the mechanics. But the real cause is often deeper and smaller...
Beyond Supply: The Principle of Value Creation and Decision-Making
Market knowledge and application expertise as key success factors.
The demands placed on industrial components are constantly increasing. Applications are becoming more complex, markets more volatile, and supply chains more challenging. At the same time, there is a growing need for technical reliability, sound financial planning and robust decision-making...


Drive seals in forestry and agriculture
Technology and production strategy in construction, agriculture and forestry.
Whether a crawler excavator is operating in an open-cast mine, a harvester is working in the forest in continuous rain, or a crawler tractor is in use round the clock during the harvest season, one thing matters above all else: uptime. Downtime costs not only time, but also money...
Mechanical face seals in mechanical engineering
Material selection and engineering are key to performance.
Mechanical face seals are among the most robust sealing systems used in mechanical engineering. They protect heavily loaded bearing and gearbox units from dirt, water and abrasive particles, whilst at the same time preventing
the leakage of lubricants...


Plain bearing technology for medical motion systems
Motion under control – even under the most stringent requirements.
The medical technology sector is under constant pressure to innovate. Systems are becoming more compact, functional and precise. At the same time, demands on load-bearing capacity, service life, hygiene and regulatory safety are increasing. Designers must ensure that motion within ever-smaller installation spaces is controllable, reproducible and consistently stable...
Mechanical seals: When the lubricating film evaporates
Significant increase in service life through targeted retrofitting.
Mechanical seals are regarded in the process industry as a robust standard solution for pump systems. However, when the medium, temperature and pressure converge within a critical range, even tried-and-tested designs can reach their physical limits, as demonstrated by a real-life case from an ammonia plant operated by a fertiliser manufacturer...


When every movement counts
LUMET plain bearings ensure reliable operation and a long service life in centre-buffer couplings.
A brief jolt, high forces, constant stress over many years. What is barely noticeable during train operation is what determines safety and availability behind the scenes: the function of the centre-buffer coupler. This is precisely where a project by ttv technische teile vertrieb GmbH, in collaboration with a leading manufacturer of drive and braking systems, comes into play...
Bespoke large-bearing solutions for the steel industry
Between downtime and full capacity.
Downtime is not an exception in steelworks, but part of the planning process. However, when plants are shut down for maintenance, every hour counts. Within these tight timeframes, critical components must function reliably as soon as the plant is back in operation...
