About Boca Bearing Company
Boca Bearing Company was founded in 1987 by a bearing enthusiast known simply as Allen, who started out selling bearings to kids looking for a competitive edge in radio control car racing by replacing stock bushings with precision bearings. Over the years, many of those same hobbyists grew up and carried their familiarity with Boca Bearings into their professional engineering careers.
Headquartered in Boynton Beach, Florida, Boca Bearing Company has grown into a world leader in specialty miniature and ceramic bearings, stocking a full range of silicon nitride, alumina oxide, and zirconia ceramic balls, including a higher-density Hot Isostatic Pressed ceramic series. The company's focus has remained on reducing rolling resistance and conserving energy across every bearing it stocks.
Boca Bearing now carries over 8,000 different bearing part numbers and more than 10 million bearings in stock, serving the medical, aerospace, robotics, food and beverage, industrial, and recreation markets. On ChatMRO, engineers can describe the bore size, material, or application to find the matching Boca Bearing product.
