Bearings technology

Rolling and plain bearings guide machine elements such as shafts, axles and wheels. They transmit loads between the machine elements. In rolling bearings, axial and/or radial forces are absorbed by rolling friction. Plain bearings and spherical plain bearings do not have rolling elements to transmit forces. The sliding movement takes place through the bearing body and the mounted part. As a rule, plain bearings can absorb high forces at low speeds.

Technical problem discussion and advice: 

Are you looking for spare parts that are no longer available in stores? Do you need help analysing bearing damage? Do you want to produce sustainably? We will find solutions together. 

Manufacturing of large bearings:

Together with our partners, we have cylindrical roller bearings, track rollers and spherical roller bearings manufactured in the range of over 2 meters in outer diameter. 

Optimisation, modification and packaging 

We assemble your roller bearings according to your requirements. 

  • Our service portfolio includes: 
  • Regrinding of the bearing clearance in the area of ​​the cylindrical roller bearing 
  • Incorporation of holding grooves (as circumferential grooves or front-side holding grooves)
  • Cage production according to customer requirements and conversion of the corresponding bearings
  • Create bearing pairings (tapered roller bearings)
  • Bearings measured and/or overhauled 
  • Production of suitable angle rings on request
  • Module assembly 

Reconditioning of spherical and cylindrical roller bearings

By overhauling, reconditioning or repairing spherical and cylindrical roller bearings, high savings potential can be achieved compared to buying new. A nice side effect - the environment is also protected. Our services include: 

  • Polish raceways
  • Remove fretting corrosion
  • Regrind raceways
  • Remanufacture rolling element, replace cage if necessary
  • Manufacture the inner ring with a new bore diameter
  • Resize clearance
  • Preserve, grease if necessary
