GL 1 – Large Size Bearings focuses on large‑diameter solutions for heavy industry (cement, steel, power, marine). It provides dimensions, load ratings and speed limits with emphasis on stiffness, alignment and centralized lubrication strategies. Topics include split bearings, on‑site mounting, NDT checks and condition monitoring to reduce TCO and unplanned downtime.
