Uhing History
The beginnings of the company date back to 1943 when electrical engineer Joachim Uhing founded an engineering bureau. In this bureau, 35-mm cameras, wall clocks and a forerunner of today’s 4.axes for machining clamped items from various sides where developed.
Developing and producing thread guides for industrial knitting machines, the company gained an international reputation already in its early years. Carving out interesting niches by providing ingenious technical solutions is still the motivating force behind the continuing success.
Joachim Uhing had close connections to the knitting machine manufacturers, and in 1952, their enquiries for means to automate the traversing movements of the knitting carriage brought about the most important product developed by the house of Uhing: the Uhing® rolling ring drive.
Being able to mechanically convert the constant rotary movement of a smooth shaft into permanent traversing movements, the rolling ring drive has made the name of Uhing® a synonym for this type of products all over the world.
