Founded in 1919, RBC Bearings, Inc. is an international manufacturer of precision bearings, components and essential systems for the industrial, defense, and aerospace industries.

Their precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of mechanical systems, reducing friction, damage, and wear in moving parts.

With this kind of capability, it’s no surprise RBC holds a historic record of achievement in craftsmanship and innovation. Their 100-year history is punctuated by hundreds of engineering design patents. The address of their Connecticut headquarters is even One Tribology Center!

In August 2005 they became a publicly-traded company, steadily growing through strategic planning and a solid track record of acquisitions.

With 56 facilities in 10 countries, including 37 manufacturing facilities, RBC has broadened its product line and geographic reach.

RBC produces a wide range of products but focuses on the specialty needs of high technology firms and highly regulated industries. In 2003, their corporate headquarters in Torrington, Connecticut, was certified with the aerospace industry’s AS9100 standard. That rigorous standard enables RBC to supply aerospace firms around the world.

Alpine Bearing, supplies RBC bearings, carrying their Thinex & torque tube, deep groove radial, thin section, and airframe control bearings. Companies in the aerospace, industrial, mining, and construction industries rely on RBC bearings every day.
