Press Release Body = West Trenton, NJ - NiceT Ball Bearings, a division of RBC Bearings Incorporated (RBC Bearings, RBC - Nasdaq: ROLL), announces the availability of a full line of ground, semiground, and unground bearing assemblies. The line includes inch dimension, radial, angular contact, and thrust ball bearings. Standard series bearings can be customized to include many features that can satisfy the demands of special applications. They are available with special bores, modified outer ring shapes, extended inner rings, locking devices, and flanged housings. NiceT Ball Bearings, the oldest ball bearing brand name in the U.S., is best known for high quality ball bearings for a variety of special applications, using special materials and lubricants. Nice products are available through RBC's authorized distribution network.
According to Doug Werner, Sr. Product Manager for NiceT, "NiceT makes a variety of special ball bearings that are used in applications varying from high temperatures to corrosive environments. For example, we produce a heat stabilized bearing used in the glass making industry, where temperatures reach 600°F. It is designed to withstand the constant high temperature operating conditions, significantly extending the customers service life of this bearing when compared to its original design. We also manufacture a number of specialty bearings that have molded urethane tires on the OD for use in inspecting and conveying equipment. Not many companies are interested in working with molded over urethane tires because design and the material can vary widely, depending on the application. Engineers from NiceT are always looking for new and different materials to help extend the life of the product, with overall customer satisfaction in mind."
"It is most cost effective for a manufacturer to make one type of bearing day-in and day-out," continues Werner. "Specials are generally not cost effective in high-volume ball bearing plants because of the costs associated with breaking down and retooling the equipment. The NiceT business is built on producing these special ball bearings for our customers." An example of a special product that NiceT produces is The EverGlide T-BallT which is used by major cargo handlers in the U.S. Our engineers designed the EverGlide T-BallT to withstand harsh operating conditions, where there are varying environmental conditions ranging from rain, snow, ice, and dirt. We have incorporated our 60 plus years of design experience to provide a product with proprietary coatings that are resistant to glycol, calcium chloride, and other de-icing compounds. Our patented unit features improved geometry to increase the load carrying capability and smoother running quality in all directions. Our design ensures unrivaled performance."
