Versatile Bearing Solutions

Our offering ranges from single-row radial bearings, double-row angular contact bearings to self-aligning ball bearings. Whether it’s for guidance systems, straightening systems, or any specialized textile machinery, we’ve got you covered. Our years of application experience and a comprehensive production setup enable us to provide an array of bearings, some of which are exclusive to the OEM.

Product Spotlight: WIB’s Textile Bearing Portfolio

Our bearings are not just components; they are solutions. Each design is an answer to a unique challenge. Here are a few examples of how our innovative approach has delivered performance and quality:

• Cylindrical bearing for Wire Coating Machines:
  This specialized bearing, with a wider inner ring, is designed for the spindle of a wire coating machine. The shield’s colour indicates the proper mounting direction for optimal operation;
  
• Double-row Cylindrical Bearing for Textile Machines:
  Specifically designed for a spindle in a textile machine, this bearing supports higher radial loads than a standard O8M00 bearing at a slightly lower limiting speed;
  
• Full Complement Radial Ball Bearing for Spinning Machines:
  This cage-less bearing with a higher admissible load and slightly lower speed limit is ideal for spinning machines subjected to high loads;
  
• Full Complement Ball Bearing for Weaving Machines:
  This cage-less cam roller, with a twin chamfer on the inner ring, is designed for a weaving machine drive system, offering high performance under extreme loads;
  
• Special Design for Shuttle Weaving Machines:
  This unique design integrates a two-part inner ring with a shaft, providing grease lubrication through a purpose-built hole. It’s designed for shuttle weaving machines, where it must support high accelerations.
