For more than 40 years, WTW (Wada Seiko) has been supplying Alpine Bearing with deep groove bearings. The company began manufacturing ball bearings in 1945 and received the Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) in 1959. They are firm believers in high quality at low cost.

Many industries benefit from the use of deep groove bearings including machine tool, material handling, medical/pharmaceutical, agricultural, rail, wind energy, and food processing. They are versatile, affordable, and capable of running at high speeds, making them the most widely used bearing type worldwide.

The design makes them run smoother, creating less friction. Less friction decreases operating temperature, noise and vibration, extends bearing life, and reduces energy use and cost. These bearings also need less lubrication and maintenance, keeping repair costs low.

Consisting of four parts — inner and outer rings, a cage, and ball bearings, deep groove bearings can handle radial and some axial loads. Their flat edges provide larger surface areas for higher load capacities. Many are built with shields or seals. Both types of closures help keep out contaminants and retain lubrication, extending the life of the bearing.

Today, Alpine has the largest inventory of bearings, including deep groove bearings from WTW, in New England. With thousands of bearings in stock, same-day shipping is available on most products.

Alpine also boasts a re-lubrication center. It’s a class 10,000 clean room with Class 100 laminar bench workstations certified to Federal Standard 209E. They can customize their bearings to suit your needs and re-package them for optimum protection.
