Since A. Harold Frauenthal founded Kaydon Bearings in 1941, their products have been a part of  the aerospace and defense, medical systems, robotics, and energy industries. They began by manufacturing super thin bearings for the US Navy during World War II, earning an E for excellence in production rating from both the Navy and the US Army. Their thin section bearings provide efficient, lightweight solutions engineers need for robotics and aerospace applications. Kaydon’s superior engineering and attention to detail make their bearings some of the most sought-after bearings for engineers.

In 2013, SKF acquired Kaydon Bearings, adding to their already international footprint. The brands produce superior quality bearings and Alpine stocks them both.

Alpine Bearing has a seasoned team of experts who’ll match your needs with our bearings. Whether you’re looking for a robotic, medical, or aerospace application, Alpine has the precision, thin section Kaydon bearings you need.
