Koyo Bearings USA LLC Formed Following JTEKT Acquisition of Timken Division

JTEKT Corporation has created a new business unit, Koyo Bearings USA LLC, following the acquisition of the Timken Company’s Needle Roller Bearings business.  The acquisition combines the strength, heritage and intellectual capital of Koyo and Torrington Needle Roller Bearings to create one of the world’s largest needle roller bearing manufacturers.

Koyo Bearings will manufacture needle roller bearings under theKoyo Torrington Needle Roller Bearings brand, which features an extensive range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings, as well as bearing assemblies and loose needles for automotive and industrial applications.

KoyoUSA site has the most recent Earthquake/Tsunami update dated March 28, 2011, with promising regular updates.  Thankfully, it appears as if deliveries and production out of Japan will not be affected.

Our library at Bearings Incorporated is extensive, and we have records from back to the 1920′s.  We have a wide variety of vendors, products, and ages of catalogues.

Even with the many vendor changes throughout the years.  Timken has now bought Fafnir, Torrington, and National Oil Seals.   SKF has purchased Chicago Rawhide seals, and MRC bearings.  SNR Bearings is now NTN.  We are current with the catalogues of today, we also have the accessibility to  refer to the old references as well.  

If you have a Victor seal in your equipment, even though they are no longer in business; don’t despair; we still have the interchange catalogues and may be able to find a suitable replacement.  Our cataloges refer back into the 1920′s, and we have shelves of historical reference catalogues.
