Rodriguez: Thin-Section Bearings and Value Added Products at ILA 2026

Rodriguez bearing technology solutions at the ILA

From June 10 to 14, 2026, Rodriguez will present selected precision bearing technology solutions at the ILA aerospace trade show in Berlin. The focus will be on Value Added Products (VAP) and versatile thin-section bearings that have proven themselves even in space applications.

Thin-section bearings offer significant advantages, particularly in applications with limited installation space. Their low weight, high precision, and ability to operate reliably even at high speeds and under extreme conditions make them an ideal choice for various industries: from medical technology to aerospace and robotics.

High-tech applications and Value Added Products
Rodriguez offers a wide range of thin-section bearings for a variety of applications. Some specially adapted bearings have proven themselves for years in space missions, including in robotic arms on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS). The weight and size of these extra-slim bearings have been significantly reduced, and innovative materials have been utilized. Such custom-made products and system solutions are a core competency of Rodriguez: the company manufactures Value Added Products (VAP) based on its own bearing or linear technology components.

In addition to showcasing its products and expertise, Rodriguez also intends to use the international trade fair for strategic networking, as Ulrich Schroth, Head of the Value Added Products Division, emphasizes: “The trade fair is an important platform for us, not only to showcase our solutions but above all to engage in direct dialogue with customers, partners, and decision-makers. In the aerospace industry, strong partnerships are built on trust, reliability, and the ability to respond flexibly to new requirements.”

You can find Rodriguez at the ILA in Berlin from June 10 to 14, 2026, in Hall C, Booth 100. We look forward to seeing you there!
