Did you know that Dacia,  BMW M760Li xDrive,  Mercedes-Maybach S650 convertible or even one 1974 Porsche 911 RS have a mechanical commonality? Because each of these models has a wheel bearing or a so-called release bearing. And what do a wheel bearing, a release bearing or a rotor bearing in a generator have in common? They all have what is known as a "roller bearing". A rolling bearing basically consists of two race rings (inner ring and outer ring) with rolling elements in between. Often a cage is also used, which is responsible for guiding the rolling elements. After all, these must not touch. Balls, cylindrical rollers, needle rollers, tapered rollers and barrel rollers are used as rolling elements.

Hardened chrome steel is usually used for the races and rolling elements, but sometimes case-hardened steel is also used. The cages, on the other hand, are almost always made of steel or brass. And in case you didn't know, rolling bearings are available open and sealed on one and both sides. And why are we telling you this? Because we would like to inform you about Wälzlagertechnik GmbH, which has been one of the leading suppliers and producers of high-quality rolling bearings of all kinds for over 27 years. From the highly specialized company from Dresden you will receive all elements of drive and linear technology, and upon request also special solutions and custom-made products that are suitable for applications at high and low temperatures. But that's not all. Wälzlagertechnik GmbH can also produce rolling bearings for extremely high speeds or rolling bearings with special dimensions. The company's expanded area of ​​responsibility also includes improving the tribological conditions of bearings. This is achieved, for example, by replacing the lubricant or rolling elements.
