For more than four decades, SMT/Nankai Seiko Co., Ltd. has supplied Alpine Bearing with deep groove radial bearings. Established in 1946, the company began exporting their quality bearings from Japan to Europe. In 1965 they expanded into the United States.

If there were a popularity contest for bearings, deep groove bearings would take the top prize. They’re high functioning, adaptable, and appropriate for a variety of applications. Deep groove bearings from SMT are especially suited for applications requiring high speeds, high temperatures and higher load capacities.

These versatile bearings have two types of closures – shields and seals – making them secure and able to support weighty loads. Both keep contaminants out and lubrication in, which is important to the lifespan of bearings.

Deep groove bearings from SMT are found in medical, dental, and pharmaceutical equipment, aerospace, wind turbines, agricultural, and food processing machinery.

Ask about savings and Alpine experts will tell you it’s in the design. These hard-working, deep groove radial bearings run smoother and create less friction while decreasing operating temperature, noise and vibration. They need less lubrication and maintenance, extending the life of the bearing, reducing energy use, and keeping repair costs at a minimum.

Since 1957, Alpine has sourced products from the industry’s leading manufacturers, like SMT to ensure the delivery of high-quality bearings to OEMs, distributors, rebuilders, and individuals.
