Enabling motion
kabkin is the first and only brand for motion solutions & kinematics with 170 years of expertise. In other words: We enable and realize movement with products that are designed precisely for this purpose and precisely according to individual movement requirements, and not the other way around. As a result, kabkin kinematics are in daily use in almost all areas of industry and life. A universe of motion sequences. From pure basic shapes to complex chains and combinations. No matter where a kinematic solution is required – kabkin solutions are available worldwide and in use around the globe.

To ensure that every movement is perfect, we think it through from the start. For every task. For every application.
Kaltenbach Kinematics – kabkin – gets your project moving. And not just materially. Every day, we support engineers and designers in pushing the boundaries of what is conceivable and feasible. With customized kinematics that move far more than just components.
The potential of this fundamental topic has inspired and moved us from our foundation to the present day. Our claim: perfect technical solutions that make movement optimally usable for our customers. Durable, high-performance kinematics that combine design and function in the harmonious interplay of all forces and components.
A movement expertise that offers the necessary security through agile thinking and sound knowledge to give free rein to ideas and to explore new and innovative paths together.

Basic genes of every movement.
Good to know
kabkin offers the full range of possible services to enable movement of any kind.
From customized to universal products, from physical (design) parts to consulting concepts, from modular services such as testing, prototyping or concept check-ups to the complete package from product engineering to implementation.
Not forgetting our ongoing research projects.
Movement takes place everywhere.
That’s why we work with almost all markets, industries and regions.
From B2B to B2C, our expertise is available to anyone with movement requirements of any kind and complexity.
The scalability of our long-standing organization enables us to meet the most demanding requirements.
Some start with highly specific products with a volume of 1 unit per year, others need an efficient solution in large quantities.
We are able to guarantee worldwide delivery of almost any volume with lead times between 2 and 5 days.
We offer everything that ensures qualified and varied movement.
From classic hinges, scissor solutions and multi-link hinges to adjustable structures, intelligent motion controls and fully assembled system solutions.
Complementary parts, design solutions and more than 20,000 universal kinematic products complete what we call a full-range approach.
All this is complemented by a consulting unit that develops kinematic concepts.
How can we ensure kinematic expertise for every requirement?
By using specific technologies, 170 years of expertise and the experience of more than 15,000 kinematics in use for a wide range of requirements.
AI-based simulation, CAD systems, an in-house kinematic test center and highly specialized engineering ensure motion solutions of the highest quality; with a complaint rate of 0.1% worldwide with approx. 1000 customer-specific orders delivered per month.
kabkin offers a new level of freedom in the design and development of products – without any restrictions.
Normally, customers have to adapt their own products to the limitations and availability of existing products.
Instead, kabkin always starts from the customer’s own movement and what they need, one-to-one.
Therefore, the products are only the customized result that enables the desired kinematics of our customers.
