A bearing and related-component supplier with catalogue options for OEM specifications, machinery applications and replacement-part enquiries. Customers can explore standard references or submit drawings and samples for custom requirements.

ARB Bearings Limited manufactures standard and customised bearings for vehicle, machinery and industrial applications from its New Delhi base.

Business at a Glance

Business Overview

ARB operates in the mechanical-component supply chain, providing bearings that support rotating parts in vehicles and equipment. Its catalogue spans several bearing families rather than a single end-use market. Alongside these components, the company lists clutch plates, grease and universal joint crosses, giving vehicle and machinery buyers access to related transmission and lubrication products.

The official history dates the company’s formation and initial taper-roller-bearing production to 1990. It records subsequent additions including spherical and cylindrical roller bearings, ball bearings, mounted units and automotive products. These milestones explain the breadth of the current catalogue; they should not be read as a specification or approval for an individual component.

Bearing Families and Their Applications

Ball-bearing options

The published ball-bearing range includes single-row deep-groove, miniature, self-aligning, double-row angular-contact and four-point-contact designs. These are distinct product configurations, not interchangeable names for one bearing. ARB’s catalogue relates them to needs such as compact assemblies, motor and pump rotation, wheel assemblies and arrangements where shaft alignment or combined loading matters.

A buyer can use the product-family pages to narrow an enquiry before asking for a specific reference and dimensional drawing. The website also offers a dimensional search using inner diameter, outer diameter and width. This makes the catalogue useful to both a customer with an existing bearing number and a customer starting with physical dimensions.

Roller-bearing configurations

ARB lists cylindrical, needle, spherical and taper roller bearings. Its cylindrical range includes single-row and four-row arrangements, while its taper range includes single-, double- and four-row designs. The product descriptions distinguish applications dominated by radial loading from those involving combined radial and axial loads, and identify rolling mills among the uses for multi-row products.

The spherical-roller catalogue includes conventional and thrust configurations. ARB describes these around heavy loading and alignment requirements. Needle roller bearings offer another format for assemblies with restricted space. Actual load ratings, speed limits, clearances and installation arrangements need to be taken from the selected product documentation rather than inferred from the family name.

Vehicle and mounted assemblies

Application-specific catalogue entries include clutch-release bearings, king-pin bearings, water-pump bearings and wheel-bearing kits. UC bearings and brackets provide a mounted-bearing category. These offerings make ARB relevant to customers specifying a component around its role within an assembly as well as those buying by general bearing construction.

Industries and Customer Groups

The company publishes application categories for commercial vehicles, passenger cars, two- and three-wheelers, transmissions and electric vehicles. Industrial coverage includes electric motors and pumps, material handling and household appliances. Agriculture, construction and mining, cement, paper, steel, textiles and railways also appear in its stated application scope.

For an equipment manufacturer, the useful question is whether ARB can provide the exact bearing configuration required for the assembly. For a replacement-parts distributor, the catalogue’s breadth helps identify relevant families and references. An industrial maintenance team may instead begin with a failed component, its dimensions and the equipment application. These customer needs differ, even when they involve bearings from the same supplier.

Custom Bearings and Engineering Capability

ARB advertises customised bearings developed from drawings or samples. This option is relevant where a catalogue component does not match an existing design or where the customer needs a particular configuration. The company’s enquiry forms allow document uploads, providing a practical route for sharing the initial specification with its team.

Its quality page describes design and modelling activities including CAD, three-dimensional modelling, stress analysis, reverse engineering and design review. It also lists inspection resources such as metallurgical microscopy, profile measurement, roller sorting, and noise and vibration testing. These are company-published capabilities; the appropriate test plan and acceptance requirements should be agreed for the order being placed.

Manufacturing Footprint and Supply

The current contact page identifies the New Delhi site and several facilities in the Sonipat district of Haryana, including Nathupur/Kundli, Jhundpur and Wazidpur Saboli. It also lists Eastern Bearings Pvt. Ltd. separately among its plant disclosures. This profile keeps that name distinct rather than treating it as another name for ARB Bearings Limited.

ARB describes domestic and international distribution and provides separate OEM and export enquiry addresses. Its website reports six plants, more than 800 dealers and customers across more than 60 countries. These figures are company disclosures, not independently audited measures of scale; current availability and supply arrangements are best established for the requested product and destination.

Related Transmission and Lubrication Products

Clutch plates broaden the offering beyond bearings. The company lists two-, three- and four-wheeler categories and describes applications extending to agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles. Universal joint crosses are another published product line, used in assemblies that transfer rotation between shafts at an angle.

ARB’s grease range identifies Red Gel Grease, Crystal Red Gel Grease and Lithium Base AP-3 Grease. Customers considering these alongside a bearing order can request the relevant product data and lubricant compatibility information. The presence of a grease range does not mean that any one lubricant is suitable for every bearing or operating environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ARB consider a drawing or sample?

Yes. Its official custom-bearing page explicitly offers drawing/sample-based work. Send the required dimensions, application and supporting specification so the company can assess the proposed component.

Does the catalogue cover electric vehicles?

Electric vehicles are a published application category, and the company’s timeline records the addition of EV products in 2021. Model-specific compatibility should be confirmed through the selected bearing reference and supporting technical information.

Where should OEM or overseas enquiries go?

The website provides [email protected] for OEM enquiries and [email protected] for export enquiries. General sales questions can go to [email protected]. These separate channels help route an enquiry to the relevant function.
