When the printing industry requires bearings, Emerson is the source for advice

Emerson Bearing, based in Brighton MA, keeps the machines running in the industries that need them. When the printing industry requires bearings, Emerson is the source for advice on options and for the best choice of new and innovative products. With most bearings on the shelf ready to be shipped, from tiny six mm bearings for gyroscopes to enormous four-foot wide bearings for steel and paper mills, Emerson Bearing’s singular focus on stocking ball and roller bearings has made them experts in the field.

SUPERIOR ENGINEERING AT EXCEPTIONAL PRICES

In the graphic design and printing markets, customers have a constant need for “free-running” bearings for idler rollers requiring low start up torque. While a segment of the market must have the lowest possible price, they still expect to receive material of a high standard. Since more suppliers are now providing this “free-running” style bearing, Emerson carries them at several price points gathered from worldwide sources.

VARIOUS SECTORS ALL WANT ONE THING

The printing industry includes newspapers, graphics, label makers, bookbinding, paper converters, roller repair and building. Vast and diverse, one consistency in the world of printing is the need for expert technical advice and support provided at the best value. Emerson offers the MB \"free running\" bearing as a low drag solution even for printers using high heat applications.

EQUIPPING THREE MARKETS TO THRIVE

Emerson sells to three types of clients, original manufacturers, users, and repair shops. Most of the builders of printing equipment are from Europe and Japan. Emerson has notable access in these countries to sourcing for varied products. Several companies simply buy their replacement parts from Emerson rather than ordering from the home factory.

NO PART IS TOO OBSCURE

Especially for parts that are unique or extraordinary, clients count on Emerson. “We tell them nothing is extraordinary to us,” says Steve Katz, CEO of Emerson Bearing. For instance, as a service to a regular client, a company in New Jersey, Emerson packages the company’s particular parts with their own part number. In many cases Emerson is able to ship directly to their clients’ customers saving the clients time and money.

FROM THE INVENTOR, DA VINCI, TO THE SUPPLIER, EMERSON

In a proud tradition, the same families that started the company in 1957 keep Emerson Bearing rolling by specializing in bearings for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets across the country. More than 30 people comprise their knowledgeable staff backed up by 33,000 square feet of warehouse holding bearings from precision miniatures of 3mm inside dimension to steel mill giants of five feet across.

Offering the right bearing for the job, Emerson also offers several price points within their vast inventory drawn from Asia, Europe and North America. Premium bearing brands include FAG, NTN, INA, NSK, KOYO and Nachi, while value-priced brands such as KBC, IKO, IPTCI, CBF, and others are in stock in a range of precision levels from Abec#1 to Abec#7. In addition, Emerson stocks in depth specialty products such as cam followers, linear motion bearings, and non-bearing items including oil seals, o-rings, roller chain, and v-belts.
