R. A. Rodriguez can now offer its customers even better availability and lead times on the Rodriguez GmbH brand of turntable bearings. This is thanks to a second wave of investment by the Eschweiler-based manufacturer that has resulted in the installation of additional machinery including a Pittler 5-axis machining centre.

The acquisition enables bearings with diameters of up to 1600mm to be manufactured to high quality German standard, in-house. It will also allow the company to meet customers’ needs for small batches – typically 10 – 20 units – as well as prototypes. Specials can also be accommodated.

Two basic versions of the Rodriguez turntable bearings are available, the KDL series for light applications where high accuracy is not a primary concern and the KDM series that provides a higher order of performance for greater loads. Both types are available as flanged units with external or internal gearing and induction-hardened raceways.

The full range of standard bearing diameters available in the Rodriguez range extends from 100mm to 3900mm.
