In the heart of the mining industry, where innovation meets the rugged challenges of extraction, bearings are the unsung heroes beneath the surface. The power, precision, and advancements of these mighty components are transforming the mining game. Join us as we dig deep, literally and figuratively, into the dynamic world of bearings in the mining industry ..read more

From the foundry to the rolling mills, manufacturing steel takes a variety of processes, in very harsh and extreme conditions. Equipment involved in these processes need to withstand severe temperature fluctuations and the intrusion of contaminants, dust, steam, water, and other pollutants. Their components, such as roller bearings, need to operate in that harsh production environment and still offer high precision and reliability ..read more

A needle roller bearing is a roller bearing that uses long, thin cylindrical rollers resembling needles. Standard rollers are slightly longer than their diameter, however needle rollers typically are four times longer than the diameter. The needle roller bearing is used in many industries, including mining, automotive, railroad, machine tool and aerospace. Source ..read more

Bearings are an essential part of industrial machinery. A bearing's goal is to regulate motion in a moving part and help reduce friction.  However, there are several types of bearings to choose from, each having its own purpose with its own advantages and disadvantages.   A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction and can manage misalignment between the shaft and housing.   Bearings Manufacturing Company is committed to being a world-class provider of modified and manufactured ball and roller bea ..read more

Bearings are an essential part of industrial machinery. A bearing's goal is to ensure motion is regulated in a moving part and help reduce friction.  However, there are several types of bearings to choose from, each having its own purpose with its own advantages and disadvantages.   Bearings Manufacturing Company is committed to being a world-class provider for modified and manufactured ball and roller bearing products. Because of this, we have worked with all types of roller bearings in many different applications across all industries.  We thought it would be advantageou ..read more

There are several types of bearings on the market today—each used for a specific purpose and design.  Bearings are designed to carry distinct load types, radial or thrust. Ball bearings are a common type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to separate the moving parts.  In addition, ceramic bearings are comprised of ceramic rolling elements (balls) enclosed in a ferrous (typically steel) inner and outer race. They are superior to steel balls in many ways.  Understanding the difference in the two bearing types and which is needed for specific applications is essentia ..read more

Bearings are crucial parts that direct and enhance spindle movement. As present-day machinery continues to move forward, the equipment must be more precise, durable, and speedier than ever before. Spindle bearings are suitable for very high speeds and help spindle movement reach its optimum speed and accuracy.  Because of the demanding application, stresses can occur in the bearing, which reduces its operating life.  BMC realizes the critical component used to shape materials through high-speed rotation use and can repair or rebuild your existing spindle as needed. We understan ..read more

A snap ring or retainer ring is a fastener that holds a bearing in an application in place. A portion of the retaining ring protrudes from the groove to create a shoulder to prevent components from migrating from their position during operation.  As a bearings manufacturing company, we are committed to being a world-class provider for modified and manufactured ball and roller bearing products. At BMC, we stock a wide range of snap ring sizes covering most industry standards to ensure we can meet your delivery request and provide specialty rings such as spiral type, made from stainless st ..read more

Slewing ring bearings, or turntable bearings, are ball or roller-style bearings composed of two or more concentric rings, possibly including a geared diameter. The bearings enhance the load support and power transmission in all directions. They are designed to support extreme axial, radial, and tilting moment loading. BMC understands machine/equipment failures are unpredictable, and if you don't have the backup bearings you need, you may be stuck with long-lead times, causing you costly downtime. Therefore, we provide bearing repair services that will extend bearing life and save you money. W ..read more
