About RBC - West Trenton
RBC Bearings West Trenton is the original location of the RBC Bearings Corporation with a history that dates back to 1919. The West Trenton facility shown was built in 1950 has been the home of many RBC innovations. In that 70-year period, RBC has been the leader in the development of spherical plain bearings, and is the original patent holder on many innovative designs of that product. The RBC West Trenton facility produces spherical bearings with a size range from 4 inch to a maximum of 24 inch outer diameter. The spherical plain bearing products produced at this facility service the mining, construction, oil & gas, material handling, and agricultural markets.
RBC West Trenton is also the current home of the RBC Nice Ball Bearings product. The Nice Ball Bearing Company was originally founded in Philadelphia in 1902. RBC Bearings relocated Nice Bearing to the West Trenton facility from Kulpsville, Pennsylvania in 2006. The Nice line of ball bearings serves many industries including material handling, packaging equipment, agricultural, and aluminum beverage can production.
RBC Bearings West Trenton also produces needle roller bearings used in the rotor head of the Boeing CH-47 and previously the CH-46 helicopters since the inception of these aircraft in the early 1950’s.
RBC Bearings West Trenton is the product design and applications center for the RBC Bearings Industrial Division. RBC Bearings also has extensive product endurance and qualification test lab capabilities to assist our customers in validating custom designed bearing solutions for their demanding applications.
