RBC Bearings Incorporated

A maker of precision bearings and engineered components that keep planes, missiles, and factory machinery turning smoothly, RBC Bearings supplies everything from ball and roller bearings to gears and hydraulics, with names like Dodge and Torque Arm on its industrial lineup. Founded in 1919 in Newark as the Roller Bearing Company of America, its initials live on as "RBC." Fun fact: its Oxford, Connecticut headquarters sits at One Tribology Center—named for the science of surfaces in motion—and its lined spherical bearing first appeared in 1957 on the steering joint of the Chevrolet Corvette.
