About FK Bearings
About FK Bearings
FK Bearings Inc. began in 1983 manufacturing rod end bearings, spherical bearings, and related accessories for performance racing, aerospace, and industrial markets. The company set up its headquarters in Southington, Connecticut, and built its reputation around precision motion-control components used where other bearing types couldn't accommodate the required range of angular motion.
Over more than 35 years, FK Bearings grew into a recognized market leader in rod end manufacturing, offering both commercial and precision series rod ends and spherical bearings in metric and inch sizes across a variety of materials. That range lets the company supply components for applications from construction and mining equipment to automation, robotics, and automotive systems.
To support faster delivery, FK Bearings added warehouses in Indiana and California alongside its Connecticut headquarters, making it easier to fulfill orders across material handling, transportation, off-highway equipment, agricultural machinery, military vehicles, and performance racing customers. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, reflecting its quality processes for precision motion-control hardware.
