FAQs
General
Yes. Since 1996, we have been working with customers on cutting-edge applications—including e-mobility drives, automation/robotics, and other high-tech fields. Our focus: high efficiency, low friction/NVH, robust design, and cost-effective mass-production capabilities in Europe and Asia.
Over 30 years of experience in custom rolling bearing solutions, local support in the DACH region (Hamburg team), a global Europe/Asia network, and streamlined processes from concept to production. Our mission: technically sound, cost-effective solutions – “We can do anything but standard.”
Yes. “Your requirements are our standard.” We develop rolling bearings that go beyond established catalog standards—tailored precisely to your application and cost-effective for mass production.
Services
Our team conducts condition and root-cause analyses at bearing locations (vibroacoustic measurements, friction torque, temperature, service life calculations). Based on these analyses, we identify specific improvements—including redesign and industrialization through our Europe/Asia network.
Yes. Instead of oversized standard bearings, we develop custom-fit, high-performance alternatives. We optimize geometry, materials, and sealing/cage designs to reduce friction, lower noise levels, and increase efficiency—all while ensuring cost-effective mass production in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Europe.

Cost-effectiveness
We combine cost engineering, design-to-cost and production-ready procurement into a comprehensive approach that measurably reduces your total cost of ownership (TCO) – particularly for complex applications. Our in-house German-speaking engineering team optimises materials, tolerances and designs, whilst our global manufacturing network in Europe and Asia leverages economies of scale and cost-averaging effects. Since 1996, we have been delivering cost-effective, customised rolling bearings in the DACH region instead of oversized standard solutions – with a focus on quality, service life and efficient series production.
We begin with a design tailored to the function and load requirements, analysing installation space, load profiles, friction, lubrication and manufacturing processes. From this, we derive design-to-cost measures: alternative bearing concepts, optimised cages and seals, material and tolerance classes, as well as series production and tooling strategies to reduce unit costs. The result: cost-optimised bearing solutions with consistent quality and predictable availability in Europe and Asia.
