In today's difficult situation caused by the spreading Coronavirus infection, we are doing everything we can to be a reliable partner for our customers. In all companies of the ZKL Group, we have therefore set preventive measures aimed at protecting the health of our employees and thus the functioning of the whole company. The health of our employees is the most important to us, so we constantly monitor the situation and make decisions to improve it.

ZKL Group has produced its largest thrust spherical roller bearing 294/950EM NF in the Brno production plant and thus expanded its range of large-scale bearings for the energy industry. This bearing will be installed in the air pre-heater of a thermal power plant in Asia. The outer ring of the bearing measures 1 600 mm. The weight of the bearing is 3 t, with a single rolling element weighing 40 kg.

In 2019 the ZKL Brno machine park was strengthened with a new BB 400ST CNC tipless grinder. Thanks to its innovative design, it enables the grinding of the shells of two rolling elements in one operation. The dimensions of these rolling elements range from a diameter of 50 mm to a diameter of 400 mm, with the heaviest rolling element weighing up to 40 kilograms. This machine will be fully used for the production of rolling elements within the program of large-scale bearing production of the ZKL Group.
