QBC is an authorized distributor and supplier of some of the world's largest bearing and linear motion component manufacturers. QBC is considered "The Bearing Marketplace", since we are the one-stop shop for all your bearing needs. We offer ball and roller bearings, linear bearings, spherical bearings, shafting, mounting blocks, and thrust bearings ranging from commercial to ultra-precision quality. We offer custom-made bearings for your specific application and unique environments as well as value-added services including JIT deliveries, blanket orders, special packaging, bearing re-lubing services, and engineering support.
Ball bearings carry radial and axial loads, minimize friction, and are used to support and position rotating components. Commercially available ball bearings are typically made from hardened steel, but other materials include stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance and ceramic (balls) which can achieve high radial speeds.
QBC's needle roller bearings are available in several materials, styles, and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of operating conditions and applications. The rollers in a needle roller bearing are tubular with a narrow bore. We carry sintered bronze, delrin, needle roller bearing or needle roller clutch pressbearings.
Our shell-type needle bearings feature caged design that offer 3X the speed of uncaged designs. The needles inside the bearing allows for high speed, high load, low profile bearing design. QBC's roller clutches are ideal for indexing, backstopping and overrunning applications.
QBC has a great selection of sintered bronze sleeve bearings. Choose from small series, standard series, ultraprecision, plastic or frelon® lined types. Check out our new split-type sleeve bearings which have a composite liner that consists of a carbon steel backing.
Our frelon® lined linear bearings can carry 4 to 8 times the load of ball bearings. Our stainless steel precision shafting features 1/64" x 45° chamfer at both ends. Guide blocks made of AISI 1055 steel, concentric and eccentric type guide wheels as well as new needle bearing cam followers are available for purchase in this section.
Thrust ball bearings are comprised of a spinning ring of (bearing) balls in between two washers. They're ideal for low-thrust, low-axial load applications. Needle roller thrust bearings consist of small cylinders (Needles) aligned with their axes pointing to the center of the bearing.
New standard duty pillow & mounting blocks that feature a cast iron housing with both set screw or locking collar design. Plastic pillow and mounting blocks offer the lightweight mounting solution thanks to the polyester material that these blocks are made of.
QBC offers a wide range of high-quality induction heaters, bearing monitor tools, hydraulic and mechanical pullers, hydraulics, and alignment equipment from BETEX Special Tools, for safe and efficient use in industrial applications.
This portable induction Heater from BETEX works great for bearings and other components.
Provides easy mounting and dismounting of bearings.
QBC carries a large selection of top quality Thomson Linear Motion Components.
Induction heating is a superior, fast and controlled heating method. It is a safe and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional heating methods such as ovens, oil baths or blow torches.
Detect the condition of bearings and other rotational and transmission components with our Condition Monitoring Tools. Our bearing condition checker can evaluate bearing shock pulse measurements, it can measure machine surface temperature and it can be used as an electronic stethoscope for listening to machine sounds.
Hydraulic and mechanical pullers are ideal for pulling and replacing a wide variety of parts including bearings, bushings, wheels, gears and pulleys. Hydraulic push puller tools help to easily fit or remove bearings and sleeves using either the outer or inner edges.
Hydraulic cylinders, pumps, jacks and more are used to create hydraulic systems for lifting. Heavy-duty hand pumps feature a forged construction for industrial applications.
Use alignment computers and lasers to accurately align shafts and pulleys in different types of industrial machinery. Pre-cut alignment shims allow for precise machine alignment to get the best performance from your machine.
