When engineers or shop floor supervisors need bearings tough enough to withstand corrosive chemicals, harsh environments, or other contaminants, they turn to MRC Bearings. The Pennsylvania company makes specialty bearings that stay spinning even in extreme industrial environments.

Alpine carries bearings from MRC for aerospace, industrial, and energy applications. When you’re repairing a pump, conveyor, or gearbox, their bearings work as “drop-in” replacements.

MRC has been producing bearings in the United States for more than 100 years. Many bearing companies originating the 1900s and 1910s, including the 3 oldest bearing companies in the country, merged to eventually become Marlin Rockwell Corporation. SKF USA Inc., the American subsidiary of AB SKF, bought the company in 1986. As a result, MRC is now a member of the world’s largest group of bearing manufacturers.

MRC and Alpine solve engineering challenges

MRC makes 7,000+ varieties of bearings to solve even the most uncommon engineering problem. Alpine’s knowledgeable salespeople can help you find the right MRC bearing for your needs. We carry MRC’s single row deep groove ball bearings, single row and double row angular contact ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, pillow block bearings, and pump bearings.

MRC’s bearings are available with silicon nitride (ceramic) balls for electrical insulation, tolerance of higher speeds, and a longer service life. Companies in the food and beverage industry will appreciate their Marathon series of mounted bearing units with stainless steel components. The Marathon series brings the strength of cast iron with better durability and corrosion resistance than nickel plating, even in applications where you’re regularly washing them with aggressive chemicals.

MRC is dedicated to producing hard-to-find bearings to make technicians’ lives easier and we’re dedicated to getting them to you fast.
