Hecht Kugellager at a Glance
HECHT Kugellager is an internationally active family business founded in 1965, based in Winnenden, Baden-Württemberg. The company distributes the complete range of rolling and roller bearings – from deep groove ball bearings through needle bearings, roller bearings, housed bearings and spherical plain bearings to linear technology and large rolling bearings – both as its own brands HKW, HKC and SL and as products from leading premium manufacturers such as FAG, INA and SKF. In its own testing laboratory, every incoming goods delivery as well as bearing data such as bearing clearance, noise behavior, hardness, material and surfaces are inspected; production takes place exclusively in audited and certified plants. The range of services includes technical consulting, custom designs such as extended inner rings, dimension modifications and SZN80-coated bearings for corrosive environments, special greasing as well as an assembly service for assemblies and modules. With over 30.000 articles in stock and its own sales company in China, HECHT supplies customers from mechanical engineering, agricultural machinery, electric motor and gearbox manufacturing, robotics and other industries worldwide.
