NTN Bearings in Houston, Texas
TSB Industrial Supply sources NTN bearings for Houston equipment owners, from deep groove ball bearings in pumps and motors to tapered and spherical roller bearings in drive trains.
NTN is a Japanese manufacturer with a broad range of ball and roller bearings. NTN's sealed deep groove bearings use LLU (contact seals) and ZZ (shields) suffixes, and its tapered bearings include both metric 4T- prefixed numbers and inch series. NTN acquired the Bower brand from Federal-Mogul in the mid-1980s, so Bower tapered and cylindrical roller bearings are part of the NTN family.
Common NTN bearing types we source
- • Deep groove ball bearings (LLU, LLB, ZZ versions)
- • Tapered roller bearings (4T- metric and inch series)
- • Spherical roller bearings

Don't have the exact part number?
NTN's LLU suffix is a contact seal (similar to 2RS), while LLB is a non-contact seal. The 4T- prefix on tapered bearings indicates NTN's improved design and can usually be quoted against the standard metric number.
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.
