Makes the difference

Application engineering

Do you have questions about the configuration of your ball bearing? For example, which seal, grease or radial clearance is the best choice for your application?

The CW experts are there to help you in word and deed. By phone, digitally or in person at your site.

100% individual: calculation and development

You need a real special solution? Your specifications are in good hands with us. For your customized solution, we calculate service life or frictional torque, for example, and adjust parameters such as external dimensions or internal geometry.

Our engineering team in Hamburg accompanies joint development projects from the initial idea to series production. Our site in Göppingen specializes in the application development of ball screws and worm shafts.

Safety First: FE simulation with CW

With the help of CAD data, we create an approximate model - for example of your ball bearing. We then simulate the loads using defined boundary conditions. Through the FE simulation, we determine possible deformations or stresses.

The decisive question is: Will the component withstand the maximum loads? Based on the calculation results, we can derive a reliable forecast for this.

In CW's engineering department, we work every day to trim ball bearings for e-mobility - for ever lower CO2 emissions.

Knowing what works: test rigs and tests

In order to test the prototypes of our development projects in detail, we have the most important test stands for your rolling bearing applications in Germany.

Worldwide, the portfolio of our test rigs includes a wide variety of testing options:

  • Service life
  • Frictional torque
  • Rotational speeds
  • Noise generation (by frequency bands or full FFT analysis)
  • Vibration
  • Seal performance
  • Dirty water
  • Salt spray
  • Aging
  • Cold

Do you have further test requirements? We look forward to your call. Discover our possibilities.

There for you: the CW Bearing Lab

After a successful test, we examine your test specimens in our laboratory. The appropriate measuring equipment is available on site to record all important rolling bearing parameters:

  • Radial and axial clearance
  • Roundness
  • Contour
  • Roughness
  • Hardness
  • Grease

On request, we can analyze your rolling bearings after they have been used in your application. As part of a possible failure analysis, we determine the exact reason why the bearings failed.

Up to date: training courses and in-house exhibitions

We will be pleased to provide you with everything you need to know about our products in your application as part of a technical training course:

  • Rolling bearing basics
  • Load ratings and service life
  • Speed limits
  • Configuration options
  • Tolerances and preloads
  • Shaft and housing fits

We address important issues specific to your application:

  • Common bearing arrangements
  • Lubricant selection
  • Effects of design changes
  • Calculations
  • Recommendations for use
  • Typical bearing damage and damage patterns

On request, we will also be pleased to organize an in-house exhibition for your employees to answer their questions about our products.
