INDUSTRIAL AND PLANT ENGINEERING Industrial bearings such as cylindrical radial plain bearings or multi-lobe or tilting pad bearings have long been traditional products of ZOLLERN BHW. The former factory in Herzberg founded in 1950 under the name of GMH started designing and producing so-called multi-lobe bearings at an early stage. The first tilting pad bearings were developed in the 1970s (when the firm was trading under the name of Glyco). ZOLLERN is also recognized as a leading manufacturer of hydrostatic plain bearings. The development of the bearing clearance compensating system and its...
