Stainless steel 316 mounted bearing units. Engineered for extreme environments!
Developed to be tough!
An Extreme Bearing is a modular assembly consisting of a sealed bearing housing in high-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, combined with the exact bearing selected to meet the specific requirements of your application.
Many configurations are possible, including advanced sealing against dirt, water, sand, and aggressive chemicals, as well as ATEX certification and high-polish finishes. All options and combinations can be tailored to your specific requirements.
And that’s what we call an Extreme Bearing !

Every application is different. Luckily, so are we.
Extreme Bearings are built around a modular concept, allowing us to combine a wide range of bearing inserts, sealing solutions, and housing configurations. Whether your application involves chemicals, high loads, extreme temperatures, washdown conditions, or all of the above, chances are we’ve got a solution for it.
Simply send us the details of your application, such as RPM, load, temperature, medium, immersion depth, vibration levels, or any other challenge you would like your bearing to survive.
Don’t have all the technical details available? No problem. A brief description of your application is often enough for our specialists to determine the critical operating conditions and recommend a suitable solution.
Our bearing specialists will select the best possible Extreme Bearing configuration and provide you with drawings and a quotation.
You bring the challenge. We’ll bring the bearing.
