About Kugellager-Express
Kugellager-Express GmbH operates an online shop for rolling bearings and bearing components, supplying private and commercial customers. The product range includes deep groove ball bearings, miniature and thrust ball bearings, angular contact and self-aligning ball bearings, tapered, cylindrical and spherical roller bearings, needle bearings, track and support rollers, housed bearing units, plain bearings, adapter sleeves, fitting washers as well as VA and radial shaft seals. In addition to its catalogue range, the company brokers custom-made rolling bearings, working with manufacturers such as FAG, SKF, NSK, NTN/SNR, KOYO as well as certified manufacturers. The products are offered in rolling bearing steel, stainless steel (including AISI 440C and AISI 304), full ceramic, plastics, and housings made of grey cast iron, zinc and aluminium die casting, polyamide or galvanised sheet steel. The rolling bearings are used in model making, mechanical engineering, agricultural and farm machinery, conveyor technology, sports, household appliances, machine tools, and the automation and bicycle industries. Administration, warehouse and shipping are located at a single site in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock; thanks to extensive warehouse stockholding, processing and shipping usually take place the same day. All delivered rolling bearings are inspected in-house using modern measuring and testing equipment.

Quality Assurance
The processes are certified to DIN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV; dimensions, hardness, material composition, running smoothness, torque, service life as well as temperature and corrosion resistance are tested with in-house measuring and testing equipment. All measurement results are transferred digitally to a CAQ system; suppliers are selected through an approval process and continuously evaluated.
