TECHNOLOGY NETWORK
In research centres in Europe, America and Asia, we are not only constantly working on future technologies and solutions, but we also concentrate on details that can actually lead to huge savings in costs and energy. Simulation applications on various analysis systems, product design and the development of different rolling bearing steels and lubricants are just some of the activities.
EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY (ETC) CENTRES ACTIVITIES
- Product design and development: Design tools for the creation of rolling bearings.
- Analysis of bearings and surrounding components: Various analytical systems help understand bearings and their applications. These include finite element analysis (FEA) and enhanced computer simulations.
- Application testing: Extensive test equipment that can simulate applications such as wheel hubs, alternators, vacuum cleaners, machine tool spindles, transmissions, washing machines, and electric motors.
- Steel development: Laboratory facilities to assess bearing steel quality. Continuous development of new steels and treatments.
- Technical support for European customers, distributors, and manufacturing operations: Technical support through the use of state-of-the-art design tools, test equipment and laboratory facilities.
