NKE Austria produces large bearings at its plant in Steyr. The Austrian bearing specialist follows a flexible production strategy, allowing to produce large bearings in batches of as little as 10 and up to 500 units. Deep groove ball bearings as well as cylindrical, tapered and spherical roller bearings with diameters ranging from 200 mm to 800 mm can be produced at these volumes. These bearings are used in a wide range of applications, including industrial and wind turbine gearboxes, generators and railway applications.
“Our production strategy at the Steyr site is geared towards flexibility and speed,” says Stefan Weidmann, sales director with NKE. “State-of-the-art technologies form the basis for maximum efficiency and precision, providing us with greater flexibility with regard to our UK and European OEM customers – after all, still by far our largest markets.”

NKE also provides customized products and solutions. In addition to product development and application engineering, NKE provides a full range of technical services, consulting, documentation and training.
