COMPANY

Overview

For a good eight decades now, we have been involved in the production of rod ends and spherical plain bearings.

While these elements, with integral self-aligning ball bearings, were originally used under the name of the company founder, SCHLEGEL, only in the aircraft industry, DURBAL heavy-duty rod ends and heavy-duty spherical plain bearing have now become well-known for their quality, reliability and prevision in all industrial sectors.

As a member of the Nadella Group, DURBAL Metallwarenfabrik GmbH and the entire DURBAL team stand by the production site in Öhringen, which has been our home since 1959.
