Consulting

Technical precision is no coincidence – it is part of our performance.

Technical support from Saurer Ball Bearings does not begin when a problem arises, but rather with the initial idea. Our technical department accompanies projects from the initial request to series approval, checks feasibility, evaluates service life, defines designs and documents quality-related characteristics. This results in solutions that are designed for functionality, cost-effectiveness and durability right from the start.

More than just thinking ahead. We live and breathe technology in practice.

Our technical expertise is based on decades of experience, a deep understanding of standards and direct practical application. We combine engineering thinking with real manufacturing experience and bring both to bear in every project.
The result is bearing concepts that not only work in theory, but also deliver impressive results in practice.
We think for ourselves, not just with others.
