RBC Bearings makes the precision bearings and mechanical parts that keep planes, trains, and factory equipment spinning—think of them as the joints and pivots for heavy machinery.
Money comes from selling bearings and components to aerospace/defense and industrial customers, with gross margins around 45% and net margins near 16%—a steady, recurring parts business.
Their engineered products are certified into aircraft and defense systems, making it hard for Timken or SKF to displace them quickly; however, aerospace supply chain shifts and customer cost pressures are eroding that lock-in.
