The proof of working long-term cooperation with a customer from the mining industry is the successful re-delivery of split spherical large-size bearing PLC 512-53.4CR. It is a special bearing used in surface mines, the specificity of which are cross-split rings and cage to facilitate its assembly and disassembly. It achieves respectable dimensions, the diameter of the outer ring measures 950 mm and the complete bearing weighs 639 kg. This bearing demonstrates again the precise work of our workers from the production plant ZKL Brno, which specializes in spherical and large-size bearings.

A major distributor of the ZKL brand in Germany - company SGN Wälzlager GmbH - is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Founded in 1995, the company has developed over time into an important and reliable partner in industry, trade and services.

On September 9, 10 and 11, the first Digital Exhibition of the agricultural sector was held in Argentina. The organization that each year holds the largest annual meeting of producers, contractors and suppliers in the segment, promoted this first “virtual” meeting that in these times of pandemic allowed companies to reach the public with their products, offers and news.

Growing demand for large-size bearings for wind power increases also requirements for their production, technology and staff. The ZKL Group invests annually in the reconstruction of production halls, modernization and expansion of the machine park and performs optimization of production processes. After last year's successful reconstruction and expansion of the heat treatment plant, this year follows a project of building a specialized central turning and central grinding halls for large-size bearing rings.
