Rolling bearing cages

Since the introduction of plastic injection moulding technology and the industrial processing of technical plastics, the rolling bearing industry has been concerned with the use of these technologies. It was recognised early on that the injection moulding process and the shaping possibilities it offers provide the ideal basis for technically highly efficient rolling bearing components.

Thanks to these technologies, the previously dominant metal and plastic products, mostly produced by machining, have been reduced to a few application areas in the market worldwide within a decade.

One of these areas of application is the large-diameter antifriction bearing sector, which has become increasingly important in the industrial sectors of construction machinery, textile machinery and defence technology since the 1960s.

The demands of these industries for similarly efficient rolling bearing accessories were taken up by KMF for the first time and realised in terms of production technology together with a Swiss manufacturing partner.

The product, rolling bearing cages manufactured by injection moulding as yard goods, has meanwhile been a proven, fixed component of the large-diameter bearing industry for decades.

The product catalogue - Rolling bearing cages - is intended to facilitate the selection and determination of KMF products. The products shown in the preferred series form a standard programme that is accessible to all interested parties.
