Ball & Roller Bearings

SIC 3562 covers the ball and roller bearings industry, where manufacturers design and produce precision bearings, slewing rings, housed units, and related seals and lubrication systems that keep rotating equipment running smoothly. Key customers include automotive OEMs and suppliers, aerospace manufacturers, industrial machinery builders, wind turbine producers, rail and heavy equipment makers, and aftermarket distributors. Producers face raw material volatility in steel alloys, energy-intensive forging and heat-treatment costs, strict ISO/AS9100 quality standards, export controls, and product liability risks tied to durability and safety. In 2024-2025, the sector is shaped by electrification of vehicles and powertrains, lightweighting through advanced alloys and ceramics, greater use of condition-monitoring sensors, and reshoring trends that drive new domestic capacity alongside supply-chain diversification. Sustainability pressures are pushing lower-friction designs and recycled-content inputs, while automation and AI-driven predictive maintenance expand service offerings.
