SPECIAL BEARINGS

Special Bearings are bearings that are provided for special projects

Special Bearings are bearings that are provided for special projects. Special Bearings are intended for purposes that require bearings of different sizes to bearings in general, usually applied to large sized machines, for example tunnel boring machines, bucket-wheel excavators and dump trucks in the mining industry.

The bearings that we provide in this special bearing are from well-known brands of course with very good quality, namely the RKB Bearing brand .
