Excursions in the summer semester 2025, KRW

Excursion to Kugel- und Rollenlagerwerk Leipzig GmbH

The second excursion of the Chair of Machine Elements in the summer semester 2025 took us to Kugel- und Rollenlagerwerk Leipzig GmbH on June 18, 2025. KRW manufactures both series and special bearings for numerous industries in Leipzig and has a history in the city dating back to 1904. As part of a company presentation, we were introduced to the company, its products and opportunities for student work at KRW. We were then given a tour of the company's production facilities. The complex manufacturing process of a rolling bearing, in which each bearing passes through around 30 machines, was explained to us and we were given a practical demonstration.

We would like to thank Georg Breslau and Christoph Bobrzik for organizing and supervising the excursion on behalf of KRW. Information on internships and possible topics for final theses in industry and at the Chair as well as future excursions can be found in OPAL.
