Hirschmann GmbH was established in 1957
in Stuttgart, specialising in developing and
producing spherical plain bearings and rod
ends. Since 1961, Hirschmann produces
standardised spherical sliding bearing elements
according to German Institute for
Standardization (DIN) ISO 12240-4 at its site
in Fluorn-Winzeln. Spherical bearings are subject
to the laws of kinetic friction.
Hirschmann works in a project-oriented field,
focusing on the customer’s particular needs
and requirements. Due to a broad skills base,
Hirschmann processes sophisticated customer
orders on request. Spherical sliding bearing
elements can be integrated directly into components/customised
parts. Ceramic spherical
sliding bearings, a significant weight-saving
technology, are one of Hirschmann’s USPs.
Designing and producing such applications
require great know-how and flexibility.
