Have you ever wondered how things like in line skate wheels and electric motors spin so smoothly and quietly? The answer can be found in a neat little machine called a bearing. It makes many of the machines we use every day possible. Without it, we would be constantly replacing parts that wore out from [...]
In 1902, William Nice founded one of the first “anti-friction” bearing manufacturing plants. Starting with unground ball types and developing into the ground field, RBC NICE today produces a complete line of precision ground, semi-ground, and unground bearings and bearing assemblies.
To choose the exact bearing you need, start with the NICE® line of standard inch-dimension, [...]
