Revolutionary electric TV mount with PRT Slewing Ring

Innovative functionality and attractive design for private homes and businesses

The pushMAXI-TELE+ROTO from Gruber Systems GmbH is an electric TV mount that uses its versatile functions to perfectly emphasize the TV hanging horizontally below the ceiling. By swiveling the TV electrically, it can easily be moved from the ceiling to a vertical position. In addition, the electric telescopic function allows the TV to be adjusted downwards into the room by up to 500 mm. The TV can also be manually rotated through 360° using an igus® PRT pivot bearing.

The mount is used both in private households and in the commercial sector. In private living areas, it is ideal for larger areas and can be flexibly orientated. When folded up, it provides an unobstructed view through a glass front and hangs unobtrusively from the ceiling so that you can simply walk underneath it.

In the commercial sector, the pushMAXI-TELE+ROTO is often used in meeting rooms, hotel lobbies, fitness rooms and other multifunctional spaces.

Application Overview

What was needed: A slewing ring bearing that enables 360° rotation.
Requirements: It had to be able to swivel, telescope and rotate up to 360° at the same time. In addition, the innovative unique selling points such as the absence of lubricants to avoid contamination of technical devices, as well as freedom from maintenance and noiselessness for optimum comfort were desired.

Problem

The development of the pushMAXI-TELE+ROTO trade show focussed on a central challenge: the space-saving and unobtrusive installation of televisions on the ceiling. Both mechanical functionality and aesthetic design had to be taken into account.

The main focus was on ensuring smooth running. The TV mount had to move silently and smoothly to provide a pleasant viewing experience. In addition, ease of use was of paramount importance to maximise user comfort. Developing an intuitive mechanism that is both precise and smooth was another challenge.

Solution

The PRT-01-50 rotary table bearing from igus® proved to be the perfect choice, as it enabled extremely clearance-free rotation and was therefore able to handle the load and leverage forces without any problems. The smooth running of the bearing clearance in particular played a decisive role.

In addition, the NT-35-AR-520 rail was chosen, which was characterised by its high rigidity when extended. The weight characteristics and the possibility of full extension were also decisive factors in the decision. It was also particularly advantageous that the rails are now also available in black, which perfectly matches our requirements.

Thanks to the use of the PRT-01-50 rotary table bearing and the NT-35-AR-520 rail, it was possible to develop a solution that fulfils the highest demands in terms of both functionality and aesthetic appearance.
