Which Can We Offer?

The Different Bearing Brands We Offer at Bearingboys

At Bearingboys, we take real pride in the range of bearing brands we stock. Since we launched in 2006, our goal has always been simple: to give our customers — whether they’re engineers, maintenance teams, farmers, or hobbyists — the best possible choice of quality, reliability, and price.

We know that not every job needs the most expensive bearing, but every job deserves one that’s fit for purpose. That’s why we’ve built a catalogue that spans premium global brands like SKF and FAG, reliable mid-range options like Dunlop, and cost-effective budget lines for everyday applications.

Here’s a closer look at the brands we offer, what makes them stand out, and some examples from our current stock.

SKF — Premium Quality & Unrivalled Reliability

When we talk about bearings that set the standard, SKF is the first name that comes to mind. SKF bearings are designed for precision, longevity, and smooth performance even under tough conditions.

Why we trust SKF:

• Exceptional build quality and dimensional accuracy

• Advanced sealing and lubrication options

• Consistent performance across every size and type

Popular SKF products we stock:

• SKF 6205-2RS1 Deep Groove Ball Bearing – ideal for electric motors and general machinery; double sealed for dust and moisture protection.

• SKF 6306-2Z/C3 Shielded Ball Bearing – a common choice for agricultural and industrial applications.

• SKF 22210E Spherical Roller Bearing – built for heavy loads and misalignment, often used in conveyors or large mechanical drives.

When uptime and precision matter most, SKF is usually our go-to recommendation.

FAG — German Engineering at Its Finest

Next up is FAG, another premium brand we’ve stocked for years. Their bearings are known for durability and reliability under high loads and high speeds.

Why we like FAG:

• Excellent for heavy-duty industrial environments

• Tight tolerances and smooth running

• Proven performance in OEM and MRO applications

Examples from our range:

• FAG 6203-2RSR Deep Groove Ball Bearing – perfect for small motors and pumps.

• FAG 22212-E1 Spherical Roller Bearing – built to handle misalignment and vibration.

• FAG 7206-B-TVP Angular Contact Bearing – often used in machine tools and gearboxes.

If you’re replacing OEM bearings or running high-precision machinery, FAG is a great match.

NACHI — Japanese Precision and Efficiency

We also stock a strong selection of NACHI bearings, a Japanese brand that delivers excellent quality at a slightly lower price point than European premium brands.

What we like about NACHI:

• High performance and excellent reliability

• Great value for demanding but cost-sensitive applications

• Strong range of deep groove and angular contact bearings

A few popular examples:

• NACHI 6204-2NSE Deep Groove Ball Bearing – high-speed capable, double-sealed for durability.

• NACHI 6305ZZ Shielded Bearing – a solid, general-purpose choice for workshop machines.

• NACHI 7204B Angular Contact Bearing – ideal for compact designs or high-precision spindles.

For customers who need a balance between quality and affordability, NACHI often hits the sweet spot.

INA — Specialist Solutions for Complex Loads

INA bearings (part of the Schaeffler Group, like FAG) specialise in high-precision and complex motion systems — linear, needle, and roller types in particular.

Why we stock INA:

• Excellent for needle, thrust, and linear applications

• Highly reliable under oscillating or axial loads

• Perfect for automation and OEM manufacturing setups

INA examples you’ll find on our shelves:

• INA NA4901-2RSR Needle Roller Bearing – compact and ideal for high radial load applications.

• INA SL045012-PP Cylindrical Roller Bearing – used in conveyors and transmission systems.

• INA K81108-TV Axial Cage and Roller Assembly – ideal for thrust load support in compact assemblies.

When the job demands something more specialised, INA usually has the right fit.

Dunlop — Great British Value and Versatility

For those who want solid, dependable performance at a reasonable price, Dunlop is one of our most trusted brands. We’ve worked with Dunlop bearings for years and find them perfect for general industry, agriculture, and maintenance applications.

Why Dunlop is a customer favourite:

• Great value for money

• Readily available across most standard sizes

• Ideal for replacement and maintenance use

Popular Dunlop bearings we offer:

• Dunlop 6202-2RS Ball Bearing – commonly used in small motors and machinery.

• Dunlop UCFL205-16 Flanged Bearing Unit – perfect for agricultural and conveyor setups.

• Dunlop 6206ZZ Shielded Bearing – reliable, easy-fit option for power transmission equipment.

When you want performance without the premium price tag, Dunlop delivers.

Budget Bearings — Practical & Cost-Effective

We know that not every application justifies a premium brand. That’s why we also stock budget and unbranded bearings that meet our own strict quality checks.

These are perfect for light-duty or short-term projects where cost efficiency matters more than lifespan.

Budget examples:

• Budget 6001-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing – great for low-load, low-speed projects.

• Budget UCP205 Pillow Block Unit – easy-mount, pre-greased bearing housing for general setups.

• Budget 6203ZZ Shielded Bearing – affordable and widely interchangeable with premium equivalents.

Even our budget range meets our minimum quality standards — if it’s not up to spec, we don’t stock it.

How We Help You Choose the Right Brand

When customers ask us which brand they should buy, we usually walk them through these questions:

1. What’s the application? (High load, high speed, or general duty?)

2. Is downtime a major concern? (If yes, go premium.)

3. What’s your operating environment? (Dust, moisture, chemicals, or vibration?)

4. Do you prefer a brand already used in your machines? (For easy interchangeability.)

We believe in fit-for-purpose engineering — meaning we’ll always help you match the right bearing, not just the most expensive one.

Why We Offer Multiple Brands

At Bearingboys, our philosophy is simple: choice equals value.
Every customer, from large factories to home mechanics, deserves access to the right bearing for their needs and budget.

That’s why our shelves carry everything from SKF and FAG for premium applications to Dunlop and Budget lines for everyday maintenance. No matter your budget or project, you can count on us to deliver bearings that perform.
