Fafnir Bearings in Houston, Texas
TSB Industrial Supply helps Houston buyers source Fafnir bearings — including the inch-series ball bearings and wide inner ring inserts found on older American equipment.
Fafnir began as an American ball bearing maker in New Britain, Connecticut. The brand passed to Torrington in 1988 and came to Timken with Timken's 2003 Torrington acquisition; Timken still sells ball bearings under the Fafnir name. Fafnir numbering (for example 207PP or the RA insert series) differs from ISO metric conventions, which is why identification help is often needed.
Common Fafnir bearing types we source
- • Radial ball bearings (200, 300 series; PP, KDD suffixes)
- • Wide inner ring insert bearings (RA, GRA, YA series)
- • Housed units — pillow blocks and flanges

Don't have the exact part number?
Fafnir's PP suffix means two seals, and RA-series inserts use a set-screw or eccentric locking collar. Tell us the shaft size and locking style if you're replacing an insert.
On the quote form you can send any of these: manufacturer part number, the number on the existing bearing, dimensions (bore × OD × width), equipment information, photos, or a full parts list.
