ROSTA today

For over 75 years the use of the ROSTA rubber spring elements have reached many industries. Almost every day we find new solutions where our customers have implemented one or more of our elements in their applications, making them more competitive and profitable.

ROSTA is being used in many industries:

• Mining & mineral exploration
• Food processing solutions (oscillating conveying systems and screens)
• Construction machines
• Wood processing
• Playground & Outdoor fitness
• Recycling & waste management
• Agriculture
• Automotive

History ROSTA

In 1941, the single axis wheel suspension developed ROSTA rubber suspension was combined in a compact construction with the wheel bearing features, suspension and rubber slowness, also those of anti-vibration mounts.

ROSTA has focused on the production of machine components at an early stage. Automatic tensioner devices were the first ROSTA machine components, which were manufactured in large series based on the same suspension principle.

Nowadays the elements for shaking and resilient support for supply and transport tunnels are the main focus in the production of ROSTA AG. Anti-vibration mounts also represent an important manufacturing share.

ROSTA worldwide

Many millions of ROSTA elements are used worldwide and show impressively that the ‘ROSTA Blues’ form a recognized industry standard. 

With a clear grow strategy, ROSTA is expanding on all levels. ROSTA has besides the headquarters in Hunzenschwil six subsidiaries and over 35 distribution partners worldwide. 

• Germany
• Italy
• Canada
• China
• United Stats of America
• Australia

Production and quality, made in-house

ROSTA has a well-equipped Research and Development department that leaves nothing to chance; the material tests that take place before and periodically during the series production are the guarantee for a comprehensive quality standard. Production machines, handling equipments, tooling machines and processing systems are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Quality validation obtains highest importance at ROSTA.

ROSTA suspension units

Ideal ‘building rocks’ for modern engineering

The ROSTA suspension unit is a machine component with a multiple function: 

• Bearing function: the ROSTA elements are a maintenance-free alternative to ball bearings, needle bearings or plain bearings.
• Spring function: applicable within a range of ± 300 mm. Advantages over steel springs are: high self-damping, shock load, swing and vibration damping, corrosion resistance, durability.
• Anti-vibration function: by the hysteresis in the rubber bodies damping occurs. Well applicable as stop buffer, vibration damper or pivot.
• Tensioner function: for both tensioning chains and belts as well as pressing or positioning products.

Advantages ROSTA rubber suspension units:

• Less components to mount
• Faster assembly and less stocking items
• Cost advantage
• Maintenance free
• No production down time for maintenance
• High productivity of your production line
