Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing, established in 1898, is a manufacturer of ball/roller thrust bearings and precision components located in Macedon, NY. Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing has been manufacturing high quality thrust bearings in the USA since 1898. We're committed to the same things that have established our reputation as it stands today: quality products, personal service, and on-time delivery. In 2013, Auburn Ball Bearing and Fairport Products became one company under its current name. Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing is located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, and has called Macedon, NY its home since 2006. We manufacture an exclusive line of thrust bearings that are specifically designed to reduce rolling friction. Our "V" groove design distributes the load evenly over the balls as they travel on four points of contact, creating a straight line rolling effect and decreasing the amount of friction created by a full contact round groove design. The Auburn styles that incorporate the "V" groove design have the added advantage of being able to carry radial loads equal to 25% of their thrust load capacity. Also unique to Auburn Bearing & Manufacturing is our round groove T-114-RG thrust bearing. The T-114-RG answers the need for an easily installed bearing requiring a minimum amount of machine work for its use. The small pitch diameter of the ball grooves for a given shaft diameter, and the large diameter balls used give a relatively low peripheral ball speed. This, together with the heavy washer sections and deep grooves, result in a bearing of unusual capacity and life for its size. It is self-contained; the two races and balls are held together as a unit by a center rivet. Its open style design allows for maximum circulation of lubricating products. Additionally, we satisfy an industry need for custom bearings in low-to-mid volume. In most cases, obsolete and hard-to-find bearings can be manufactured and delivered to a customer in 4-6 weeks.
