SS 316 mounted bearings engineered for extreme

AISI 316 Stainless Steel Mounted Bearing Units for Harsh Environments and Demanding Applications

Heavy-duty stainless steel bearing solutions

Developed to be simply tough!

Extreme Bearing designs and manufactures premium AISI 316 stainless steel bearing units for the world’s most demanding industrial environments.

Unlike conventional stainless steel mounted bearings, our solutions combine solid AISI 316 housings with high-capacity spherical roller bearings, delivering exceptional load capacity, superior shaft guidance, and maximum corrosion resistance.

Our modular product range allows each bearing unit to be configured with the right housing, bearing, sealing system, and certification for your specific application.

Whether you’re operating in mining, marine, food processing, chemical, or bulk handling industries, Extreme Bearing provides bearing solutions engineered for maximum uptime, minimum maintenance, and uncompromising performance.

Built for extreme conditions. Engineered to last.
