SMB Bearings is a UK based specialist supplier of high precision bearings for demanding industrial applications. We support engineers, OEMs and maintenance professionals across the UK and internationally, supplying carefully selected bearing technologies built for performance, reliability and longevity. Since we started, the goal has stayed the same: give customers the precision bearings and technical expertise they need to design, build and maintain reliable machinery.

Our specialism is small and high performance bearings, including miniature ball bearings, instrument bearings, and stainless steel bearings for corrosive or hygienic environments. We also supply ceramic and hybrid bearings for high performance applications, plastic and polymer bearings resistant to chemicals and moisture, thin section bearings for space and weight constrained designs, and sealed or shielded bearings for extra protection against contaminants. Alongside the products, we run an in-house bearing relubrication service to help extend component life.

SMB Bearings is the authorised UK distributor for Sapporo Precision of Japan, manufacturer of the globally recognised EZO range. We also supply our own SMB-branded bearings where cost efficiency matters more than premium spec, so customers can pick the right balance of performance, reliability and value.

Our customers span aerospace and defence, automotive and electric vehicles, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, marine and offshore, robotics and automation, and scientific instruments. Whatever the sector, our team works with customers directly on bearing selection, lubrication and the tricky operating environments that need more than a catalogue answer.

We don't just sell bearings. We help solve the problem behind the bearing.
