Detailed Product Description

Founded in Osaka, Japan in 1921, Koyo has become the worlds third largest producer of bearings with 16 manufacturing sites and 53 offices in 18 countries. Their 1996 worldwide sales exceeded ¡ê1, 630 million and much of this revenue is derived from their strength in the automotive field. Their primary product strengths include ball and taper roller bearings, needle roller bearings, water pump spindle bearings, clutch release bearings, miniature bearings and hub units with ABS sensors.

After careful consideration, Koyo has decided to change many common sizes of spherical roller bearings, from bronze to a steel retainer. The advantages to making this change includes increased load capacity and improved availability.
