Roller Bearings
High-Performance Roller Bearings
IBSCO supplies a wide range of roller bearings engineered for aerospace, industrial, and defense applications requiring high load capacity, durability, and precision. Unlike ball bearings, roller bearings use cylindrical, spherical, tapered, or needle-shaped rolling elements to support heavier loads and reduce friction in demanding systems.
Our partnerships with leading OEMs—including RBC, Timken, Schaeffler, Koyo/JTEKT, NTN, Nachi, and SMT—enable us to deliver high-performance roller bearings tailored to critical applications. With IBSCO’s cleanroom relubrication services and technical expertise, customers benefit from extended service life and certified quality in every order.

What Are Roller Bearings?
Roller bearings are rolling element bearings that use cylindrical or tapered rollers instead of balls to support loads. They provide higher load capacity and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty and high-performance applications.
Construction & Bearing Types
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
High radial load capacity with low friction; available in single and double row designs.
Spherical Roller Bearings
Self-aligning design accommodates misalignment and heavy loads.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Handle combined radial and axial loads; ideal for aerospace and industrial wheel applications.
Needle Roller Bearings
Compact design with high radial load capacity for limited space applications.
Cross Roller Bearings
High rigidity and precision for robotics and optical systems.
Specifications & Standards
IBSCO supplies roller bearings in accordance with SAE, ISO, and OEM-specific standards. Available in inch and metric sizes, our roller bearings are manufactured from stainless steel, chrome steel, and specialty alloys. Precision grades and lubrication options are available to meet aerospace and industrial requirements.
