Over 70,000 standard components

The 2022 edition of THE BIG GREEN BOOK, designed to help engineers find what components they need quickly and easily, contains over 10,000 components more than the previous edition – now totalling over 70,000 standard components.      

Amongst the 10,000 new products added to the 2022 edition are new steel positioning cones and positioning bushes for centring units, which align and secure workpieces in an innovative way and enable a repeat accuracy of <0.003mm. 

The book also introduces norelem’s range of pneumatic cylinders, which are suitable for numerous applications, as well as newly developed carriage guides, which enable positioning and movement horizontally and vertically.

Additionally, the 2022 edition features an entirely new product category titled ‘norelem controls’, which lists electromechanical standard components for control and regulation.

This is the second edition of THE BIG GREEN BOOK to be split into two volumes. norelem has ensured that the printing process of the 2022 edition is more sustainable, by using an innovative method that combines heat and power technology during printing to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 52%. As a result, the 2022 edition is the greenest yet. The two volumes contain over 2,700 pages between them, listing data, components, and reference guides. 

Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem, said: “Design engineers across the globe regard THE BIG GREEN BOOK as an invaluable reference guide. Our strapline is ‘Find it. Get it. Go’ and a key part of this is our product catalogue, which makes it easier for engineers to quickly identify the products they need. We know that this year’s edition of THE BIG GREEN BOOK is our most detailed version yet and we are confident it will help our customers with their everyday challenges.”
