Machinery and plant construction
Our products for machinery and plant construction focus
on special sections manufactured to customer drawings for linear guide
systems. Linear guide sections from EZM guarantee the greatest possible
closeness to the final dimensions, along with maximum uniformity within a
batch, outstanding straightness, compliance with extremely stringent
dimensional tolerances and high wear resistance.
This high precision, the consistent quality, the wide range and the
permanent readiness of the EZM team to tackle new developments in
collaboration with customers have made EZM one of the leading suppliers in
this market segment. EZM holds a top position in the field of stainless
miniature guides and has decades of experience in the processing of
anti-friction bearing steels. The EZM products made of these steels are
characterized by uniform strength and high purity, and are used in the
manufacture of balls, rollers, needles and pins.

Vehicle manufacturing
With its high-quality bright steels, EZM is a versatile
and dependable partner for vehicle manufacturing and the automotive
industry. Of particular importance in this context is a lead-alloyed carbon
steel for diesel fuel injection pumps.
The unique properties of the EZM products used here offer the perfect
solution to such contradictory requirements as extremely high pressure
resistance up to approx. 1,800 bar, on the one hand, and optimum machining,
on the other.
This specialty has made EZM the world’s leading supplier in this field of
application.
Bright steels and sections from EZM are also to be found in virtually every
segment of automotive engineering.

Sprags
Sprag sections from EZM have proven extremely successful
in every field of transmission engineering. The high material quality and
precision of the cold-drawn sprag sections are a decisive prerequisite for
the reliable operation and durability of freewheel devices, clutches,
overload protection devices and other driveline elements. Cold drawing
guarantees the straightness, accuracy and uniformity of the sprags. The
tolerances to be observed for sprag sections are in the micrometer range. In
this context, EZM succeeds in maintaining the dimensional accuracy of 3 µm
required for the component over a length of 5.6 km.

Tool-making
Bright steels and special sections from EZM are used in
high-quality hand and machine tools, ratchets, woodworking machines, drills
or chain cutters.
Thanks to their high quality material and precision, they permit the
manufacture of tools that are very safe in use, function reliably and have a
long service life.
With innovative cold-rolling technology and greatly improved surface
roughnesses, EZM caters to the growing demands on the service life of tools.

Medical equipment
Variety is also a characteristic of the EZM product range
for medical equipment. Round stock in sizes of 0.5 mm to approx. 20.0 mm is
manufactured in drawn and ground versions, as well as flat wire and sections
produced to customer drawings.
In view of their critical use as implants, the materials are made of highly
corrosion resistant austenitic steel grades that are additionally remelted
to give them a particularly high degree of purity. Demands on the materials
are also increasing in line with medical progress. Therefore, EZM engages in
constant development work in order to be able to supply its products for
medical equipment in titanium as well.

Fluid engineering
The products for fluid engineering available from EZM
range from ground, round material for solenoid valves and standardized
hexagonal products for fittings and connections, all the way to
high-precision filtering screen sections. Because of the extremely narrow
tolerances to which the dimensions of the filter gaps are subject, these
so-called filtering screen sections place very stringent demands on the
drawing tools. Reproducibility must be absolutely guaranteed.
EZM offers an unusually wide variety of materials, especially for fluid
engineering. For example, EZM supplies wear resistant manganese steel grades
and offers highly rust-proof austenitic steels to meet the demanding
requirements of the foodstuffs industry and the chemical industry. Due to
the quality of its materials and the great variety available, EZM is today
in great demand as a supplier in this segment.
