Bearings International (BI) offers a range of mounted and unmounted bearings and bearing housings from KML Bearings, as well as automotive-specific products for the passenger and commercial vehicle sectors. There is even a product range dedicated to the electric motor industry. These bearings are manufactured specifically and carry the Electric Motor Quality (EMQ) label.
KML has proven highly successful in the industrial, OEM and agricultural markets as a second-tier brand that does not sacrifice quality, while offering significant cost benefits. “We have managed to negotiate better pricing, in line with the current economic climate on agriculture-specific and mounted ball bearing units, and are happy to have passed these discounts on to the market,” says product manager, Gerhard Pienaar.
With 35 years experience in the bearings industry, KML has an in-house research and development department. With a presence in over 50 countries, end-users can rest assured that replacements are readily available globally.
Latest developments include the development of an improved version of a harrow disc hub bearing unit for the agricultural market. BI also has a dedicated engineering department that can offer customers and end users assistance in terms of failure analysis and recommended improvements where necessary, from product selection and recommendations to design improvements.
