New Hampshire Ball Bearings (NHBB) is a nationally-recognized manufacturer of precision bearings and complex bearing assemblies. The company’s exacting production standards have brought them prominence in the aerospace, high tech, and medical device industries. This dedication to quality and the deep expertise of their product engineers make NHBB a leading precision bearing manufacturer.

Aerospace

Aerospace components must meet some of the most challenging conditions on the planet – and beyond. NHBB designs its products for high-performance, extreme speed (up to 100,000  RPMS), heavy loads, and wide temperature variations (sub-zero to super-heated). They are ideal for applications requiring extraordinary durability. NHBB produces bearings for jets, helicopters, satellites, sophisticated maintenance devices, and ground equipment for both military and civilian use.

High technology

NHBB produces specialized and miniature components for a wide variety of products. They are part of the growing manufacturing sector, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), in which commercial and consumer products have smart features, often including robotics and artificial intelligence. Semiconductor manufacturing, is another growing high technology industry that uses NHBB products.

Medical devices

NHBB also manufactures miniature instrument bearings for advanced technical and medical devices. Medical and dental device manufacturers deploy these highly specialized products in surgical robots, medical devices, laser and cardiology equipment, and dental instruments. The meticulous nature of medical and dental work calls for precision instruments and precision bearings to make them work.

A subsidiary of Minebea Mitsumi (Japan) and partner company of myonic GmbH (Germany), NHBB is a global brand with local roots. It is one of the largest manufacturing employers in the Laconia/Peterborough area of New Hampshire.
