Customized Bearing Solutions

More than 100 years have passed since the development and industrial distribution of rolling bearings. Rolling bearings are standardised, dimension plans are defined and interchangeability is guaranteed. From deep groove ball bearings to axial spherical roller bearings, there is a suitable rolling bearing for almost every application. In spite of this, industry-specific solutions have established themselves in many areas. Modern wheel bearings in the automotive industry are no longer standard bearings, but integrated and cost-optimized assemblies. Apart from large-scale production, such an approach is still very cautiously pursued, although the technical innovation possibilities and the improvement of the cost structure can be enormous.
