Step 1 - The customer sends us an inquiry with a description of his requirements and his drawings

Step 2 - In the case of FUD, a feasibility analysis is carried out in a coordinated effort with calculations of the influencing factors and the resulting requirements for the materials, technologies and manufacturing processes to be used, with a concrete recommendation and suggestions for optimization

Step 3 - After a joint comparison with the customer, we select the ideal manufacturer for you.

Step 4 - In the price calculation and price check, we weigh up the ideal concept with the customer

Step 5 - After your approval of the production sample, series production begins

Step 6 - Stockpiling and just-in-time delivery from our central warehouse in Sprockhövel

Step 7 - Ongoing optimization and adaptation to changes at the customer

We often work together with our customers in long-term framework agreements to our mutual benefit.

We achieve these and other goals of our customers together through the proven FUD process for special bearings

Materials for inner and outer rings:
100Cr6 / GCr15 / AISI51200(1.3505)
100CrMnSi6-4(1.3520)
AISI420(1.4021)
AISI440(1.4112 / 1.4125)
Si3N4 (ceramic)
ZrO2 (ceramic)
POM (polyoxymethylene)
PP (polypropylene)

Materials for seals:
NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber)
I would not write FKM (fluororubber) VitonTM as it is trademarked by The Chemours Company.
ACM (alkyl acrylate copolymer)

Materials for cages
PA66 (polyamide 6.6)
PA66+25%GF(polyamide 6.6 + glass fiber 25%)
PEEK (polyetheretherketone)
Steel (DC01 / SPCC)
Stainless steel (AISI304 / AISI316)
brass

As diverse as the requirements and areas of application for rolling bearings are, there are just as many options available in the choice of materials.

Depending on the external influence on your application, different properties of the materials used are required. Such influencing factors can include pressure, temperature, size, durability and many more. In our joint process of creating and designing your drawing part, we select the components according to the requirements for durability, weight, dimensions or price. A combination of different materials is often the right solution. The individual components of your drawing part are then manufactured from the ideal materials with the highest precision. This also applies to any connecting elements required for the subsequent application.

Materials for balls:
100Cr6 / GCr15 / AISI51200(1.3505)
AISI420(1.4034)
AISI440(1.4125)
Si3N4 (ceramic)
ZrO2 (ceramic)

It is best to contact us directly. We will discuss your requirements and agree an individual solution.

Working with good practitioners with solution-oriented experience from a wide range of industry applications is particularly beneficial for both users and dealers. In this way, you avoid the mistakes that others have made before you and fall back on existing and reliable structures. For example, subsequent reactions in production systems can be avoided before they occur. In a practical example, we once recommended switching from plain bearing elements to special ball bearing elements in a production line. This not only led to improved energy efficiency, but also significantly extended the service life of the electric motors driving the drive.

Another example of such synergy effects is the targeted testing and calculation of the dimensioning of the properties of bearings or components used. We see time and again that supposedly suitable bearings are used because they are quickly available as standard bearings and can be used in accordance with DIN standards, but are oversized in terms of quality for the customer's individual application. 

Individually calculated and calculated, solution-adapted alternatives can be found that achieve significant cost savings, especially in series and mass production, by replacing such a bearing with an adapted bearing that is reduced in quality, saves costs and is still perfectly adequate.

Our worldwide cooperation and experience with suppliers, producers and service providers pays off time and time again. As a result, FUD is not restricted to one type of production, one material, one process or one procurement market, but can design the optimum solution for your needs without limits.

The exceptional internal and external quality inspection provides customers with a high degree of security, because with around 18 million special parts supplied for 600 customers from over 40 industries every year, FUD has access to a particularly broad range of experience, contacts and possibilities, and thus acts as a knowledge adapter for customers.

Rolling bearings that are not standardized - we call them FUD specific - and are not available from major manufacturers are classified as special rolling bearings.

These customer-optimized solutions for a wide range of business and technical requirements attract particular attention.

Ergo: Special bearings are the opposite of catalog goods.

For our customers we offer

Continuous incoming goods inspection

Roughness test

Profile examination

Hardness test

Noise test

Vibration test

Salt spray test

Materials testing

Service life test

Damage investigation / damage analysis

FUD QA / Quality Assurance - Quality Inspection is set up and certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, which guarantees the same highly accurate inspection and documentation at all times.

These inspection and test procedures are available to you as a customer and are agreed, adapted and carried out according to your requirements. In this case, too, it is the proportionality of the means that counts, so that in the end everything is right for the customer.

These comprehensive testing services are rounded off by special liability insurance as additional security in exceptional cases and regular audits of our suppliers and manufacturers around the world.

This varies greatly depending on the starting point and information situation for the implementation and planning of the project, as well as many other factors. The decisive factor is also whether it is a development order, a feasibility test, a calculation, a sample delivery, a series release, series production or stocking and delivery by FUD. Do you need all of these services or just some of them?

This means that the length of time such a process can take varies greatly. Anything from a few months to a year is possible. As a general rule, the further a component is from series production, the longer a process takes. We can deliver special projects in just a few weeks.
