About us
Harke & Paulig GmbH was founded on 01.05.2003 and is located in Radevormwald. The company manufactures ready-to-install bearings for drum dryers and rotary kilns, consisting of rolling roller units, axial and pressure roller units, and complete steel bases as welded structures with precisely machined bearing surfaces. Further core areas include running rings and gear wheels up to pitch circle diameters of approx. 7,500 mm and tooth module m=26, bearing housings for drive technology, steel and metal construction, and shaft structures for the elevator industry. Design is carried out in 3D with proENGINEER including FEM calculations and verifiable statics. Materials range from grey cast iron, ductile iron, and steel castings to forged and tempered steels up to stainless steel. Customers come from plant engineering, process technology, elevator technology, wastewater treatment technology, and drive technology; delivery is made including on-site assembly.
