Multifunctional Bearings

Multiple functions sensibly combined

New technologies, concepts and products in the automotive industry create numerous challenges that call for entirely new and creative solutions. For example, in the electric vehicle sector (BEV) and in the hybrid vehicle sector (PHEV) there are many new power units meeting minimal space requirements. Standard bearings rapidly come up against their limitations. The conventional, strict separation of functional elements, practised to date, is often impractical due to minimal package restrictions. The available space is just too small.

Our know-how for your challenges

ROLLAX multifunctional bearings allow the combination of several mechanical functions on the outer or inner ring in a single bearing. For instance, instead of installing a bearing underneath a sprocket, the outer ring is supplemented by a sprocket.

Not everything is always feasible. However, where it is appropriate and practical you will find a partner in ROLLAX who will support you creatively and with a high degree of innovation.

Whether you need a synthetic pulley with needle bearing insert, a deep groove bearing with separate needle clutch or a radial bearing with integrated preload spring – At ROLLAX you’ve come to the right place. Since 1972 we have been integral in the design of numerous innovative products for the automotive industry, we have registered more than 300 patents.
