Even before the invention of the wheel, humans discovered that heavy objects are much easier to move when placed on rolling logs. The principle of the roller bearing had been discovered.

Today there are a multitude of bearings that enable or restrict movements in varying degrees of freedom. Depending on the type of movement, a distinction is made between rotary bearings and linear bearings. What they have in common is the need for a surface with the lowest possible friction.

The demand for low resistance and reduced heat generation illustrates the importance of having a reliable abrasives manufacturer as a partner. Numerous components are manufactured from hardened steel or ceramic materials and demand high precision in their machining and finishing.
