Custom special bearings built around your drawing.
Source crossed roller, thin section, slewing ring, precision and non-standard bearings for demanding industrial applications. Send the drawing, sample or operating conditions first; the technical route, supply source and required evidence are confirmed before quotation.

Six routes for custom and special bearing requirements
Start from a family, or send the drawing directly. Every enquiry is reviewed against dimensions, load, accuracy and working conditions.
Crossed Roller Bearings
High rigidity for robot joints, rotary tables and indexing mechanisms where deflection must stay small.
Discuss the application
Thin Section Bearings
Constant cross section designs where space and weight are fixed by the machine envelope.
Review dimensions
Slewing Ring Bearings
Large diameter rotation under combined axial, radial and moment loads.
Send load conditions
Non-Standard & Custom
Modified dimensions, ring features, clearance, preload and material outside the catalogue.
Upload a drawing
Precision Bearings
Angular contact and cylindrical roller series for spindles and accuracy-critical axes.
Check the series
Standard & Modified Series
Ball, roller, needle and thrust series supplied as catalogued, or modified to a drawing.

Production route selected for the confirmed design
When a catalogue bearing does not fit, start from the application.
A special bearing is defined by constraints rather than a sales name: envelope, load direction, speed, temperature, lubrication, fit and required accuracy. These inputs are reviewed first. The suitable product route, manufacturing source and evidence package are then confirmed for the project.
Where the bearing has to carry the machine
Different applications fail for different reasons. The review starts with the failure mode your design cannot accept.
Spindles & rotary tables
Stiffness, runout and thermal behaviour under continuous operation.
Yaw & pitch systems
Slow rotation, moment loads and long service intervals.
Robot joints
Repeatability and rigidity in a compact installation envelope.
Rotating assemblies
Shock loads, contamination and maintenance access.
Agree the evidence before the order starts.
A generic certificate does not prove a delivered bearing. Define which order-specific records your QC team needs and how they connect to the drawing and batch.
- Material evidenceRequested only where the selected source can link the document to the material or batch.
- Dimensional inspectionCritical characteristics, method and sampling agreed against the controlled drawing.
- Batch identificationPart, purchase order, quantity and lot references connected to the supplied records.
- Packing requirementsRust prevention, marking, carton and pallet requirements confirmed for the destination.
From requirement to verified delivery, four steps.
Each step has an output you can check, so the technical route is agreed before production starts.
Send the requirement
Drawing, part number, sample photos or measured dimensions, plus load, speed and temperature.
Engineering review
Manufacturability, material and tolerance route are reviewed, and open points come back as questions.
Confirm the specification
The drawing, clearance and inspection items are fixed in writing before the order moves forward.
Coordinate, inspect and deliver
The selected production source works to the confirmed specification; agreed records, marking, packing and delivery milestones are checked for the order.
Questions that come before the first order.

What do you need to quote a special bearing?
A drawing is the fastest route. If no drawing exists, send the part number, dimensions you can measure, load direction, speed, temperature and the mounting arrangement.
Can you work from a sample instead of a drawing?
Yes. The sample is measured and the dimensions are returned to you for confirmation before a drawing is issued.
Which documents can be requested with a batch?
Required material, dimensional, hardness, heat-treatment or batch records must be stated at enquiry stage. Availability is confirmed against the selected product, manufacturing source and order.
Are drawings kept confidential?
Drawings and samples are used only for the enquiry and production. An NDA can be signed before files are exchanged.
Tell us about the bearing
Fields marked with * are required. Drawings can be attached.
Start with the drawing, sample or operating conditions.
The first review identifies the feasible sourcing route, missing technical inputs and the evidence that must be agreed before quotation.
