OE Bearings has established a successful partnership with major U.K. SRB manufacturer, Revolvo. The success of the partnership is based upon OE Bearing’s local stocks of SRB, plus its engineering excellence and service. In addition, OE bearings effectively meets local needs, as the only supplier of non ISO- sized SN SD split plummer block bearings. These are manufactured by Revolvo especially for the South African market.

Strategically located in Johannesburg, OE Bearings serves the huge commodity sectors, such as copper, platinum, gold, that dominate SA industry. In such time- critical industries, OE Bearings has built its business on providing engineering service: product selection, application engineering and fitting and commissioning services. The company have unparalleled local industry sector experience and are absolute product specialists, supporting their served markets with comprehensive local stocks of Revolvo split roller bearings.

“Our strategy of working in partnership with our sole distributor to provide products that the market needs has really paid off with market leadership in SA Africa,” said Adrian Menzies, sales and marketing director for Revolvo. “Our ranges of split roller bearings offer significant downtime saving advantages in commodity industries; but these advantages have to be brought to the potential customer base. This is a task that OE Bearings have performed admirably; to the point that they have overtaken traditional SRB suppliers to the SA market.”

The J Series of bearings provides an answer where users need the load capacity of a medium series (MS) split roller bearing, but only have a space envelope to accommodate a light series (LS) SRB. J series units offer all the practical benefits of the split bearing solution – quick and easy installation, reduced downtime, easy access, strength and durability - but in a more conventional sized envelope. Unlike competitor products that use inferior materials, such as nylon, in their bearing cages, the J series range does not compromise on quality, customers benefiting from the same high quality precision machined bored pocket brass cages and HT250 cast iron housings that have become the hallmark of Revolvo’s SRB range.
