Scope of Research & Development

Every product developed at KCI Bearings starts with understanding customer requirements and based on these requirements we design and develop products. Owing to current technology in design and equipped with infrastructure for development, product development time has reduced drastically that in turn has fastened our product deliveries to our customers. Products designed and developed are tested and validated on endurance test rigswith online data monitoring facility for testing individual bearings, aggregate testing and benchmarking. Complete In-house facility for Validating the product and Manufacturing of Test Rigs as per technical data given by Customer.Over the years, we have developed such confidence in our customers that today in many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) we are single source suppliers.

Technology & Innovation

Our approach of Application engineering and Value engineering combined with Technology is being appreciated by our customers. As a testimony of this journey, we have earned Direct – Online Status with many OEMs.

One such innovation that we can marvel upon is Turned Cages and Staggered Cages. Turned cage delivers more advantages over conventional welded sheet metal cage such as more strength, higher load carrying capacity, better geometrical accuracy, design flexibility as well as skew free. Staggered cage design is our next generation cages specifically for higher load carrying capacity than turned cage.
