Founded in 1946, JAF Bearings, a division of Fujino Iron Works, is one of the most trusted Japanese manufacturers of ball bearings. JAF manufactures chrome and stainless steel ball bearings in standard and custom bores and diameters. Their factory produces a high volume of bearings, but also accommodates smaller, specialty lots in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Thirty years and still rolling along as part of the Alpine Bearing product family, JAF keeps Alpine’s inventory stocked with miniature & instrument bearings and deep-groove radial bearings.

What makes these miniature bearings so special is their small size and adaptability to so many different types of applications, especially in medical and dental equipment, where space is at a minimum and speed is paramount.

Then there’s the Rocky Balboa of bearings – the deep-groove radial. These bearings are tough, hard-working and very versatile, making them one of the most popular bearings, especially able to handle heavy loads with less vibration and noise. With so many different sizes and designs, there is a deep-groove bearing that will fit most customers’ specific needs.
