Railway and Transportation
In times of ever-increasing transport volumes and the constant growth of the world population, resource-saving transport options are being sought. The focus is usually on the rail track. It is regarded as an efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable means of mass transportation. To further increase efficiency and sustainability, companies in the rail vehicle industry rely on innovative and durable KRW rolling bearings.
Learn moreRaw Material Extraction and Processing
KRW large bearings are used worldwide in almost all areas of raw material extraction, preparation and processing. The extreme operating conditions in these fields demand maximum wear resistance and longevity from the bearings. In process plants where downtimes and repairs far exceed the costs for a bearing, it is immensely important for the plant operator to be able to rely on the functionality and availability of bearings. Whether in coal mining, ore crushing and processing or the cement industry, KRW bearings have stood for reliability in these industries for decades.

In no other product are the requirements on the accuracy of the bearings used consistently as high as in a machine tool. Whether spindle, rotary axis or rotary table, the bearing arrangement defines the limits of the machine tool like no other machine element. KRW bearings stand for highest precision. KRW is an innovator and partner to the world's best machine tool manufacturers to improve their products further.
Learn moreRolling Mills
The worldwide demand for steel and non-ferrous metals is constantly increasing. Sheets, profiles, wires or tubes made of these materials are used as semi-finished products in cars, cranes, buildings and even electrical engineering. Forming between two or more rotating rolls within a roll stand is a continuous process that is used in the automotive industry from the hot forming of coarse slabs to the calibration of finished outer skin panels.
Learn morePaper and Plastics Processing
Paper and plastics processing represents an important part of industrial society. The manufacturing methods and use, e.g. in textile, packaging, automotive or aerospace applications, are diverse and define clear requirements for the machine parts used. KRW offers optimized bearing solutions for a wide range of operating conditions and is a reliable partner for new developments in these industries.
Learn moreIndustrial and Large Gearboxes
Gearboxes are among the most frequently used machine components in the world. The main task is the transmission and transformation of movements, energy and/or forces. In recent decades, the development in the gear industry has been strongly driven forward, resulting in more efficient gears, increases in quality and reliability or reductions in the power losses of rolling bearings. KRW offers the suitable rolling bearings for gear applications and can meet the current state of technology with new developments.
Learn moreOffshore Technologies
In all areas of shipping or inaccessible installations on the high seas, the absolute guarantee of function is what counts. Rolling bearings from Leipzig have proven their special reliability for many years in rudder and maneuvering systems as well as special drives for submarines. Special bearings are also used in almost all applications on exploration platforms.
Learn moreMotors, Generators and Turbines
Electrical machines and drives require special rolling bearings which are adapted to the requirements of these installations. In particular, the breakdown of electric current represents an increasing problem with the use of drives controlled by frequency converter. KRW develops special bearings for these challenges.
