Business Details
We are EBT, a family-owned bearing company founded in 1963 by Mickey Thompson and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, with decades of hands-on operational experience serving industrial sectors across North America and beyond. Our ISO 9001 certification and global, ISO-certified manufacturing footprint ensure every product meets rigorous, consistent quality standards no matter where it is produced. We operate a 20,000-square-foot on-site warehouse staffed by an in-house quality control department equipped with Zeiss CMM technology to inspect every shipment before it leaves our facility. Our team of bearing specialists combines deep technical expertise with urgent, responsive support to solve complex bearing challenges for clients in high-stakes operational environments. We engineer custom bearing solutions tailored to unique client needs, from frac site equipment to heavy industrial machinery, to address performance gaps that off-the-shelf products cannot resolve. Our EBT-Grade Guarantee reflects our commitment to delivering bearings that perform longer, run smoother, and keep client operations in relentless forward motion under even the most punishing conditions.
We maintain high-performance, field-proven inventory that is trusted by frac operators, rig crews, and field technicians across the oil and gas, mining, construction, and agriculture industries. In addition to manufacturing our own proprietary bearing lines, we are an authorized distributor for leading bearing manufacturers including URB, giving us access to an even broader range of reliable products for our clients. We offer custom sourcing for specialized and hard-to-find bearing parts, leveraging our extensive industry network to deliver parts that other suppliers cannot locate quickly or reliably. We prioritize full transparency in our design, manufacturing, and distribution processes, so clients always have clear insight into the origin and quality of the products they purchase from us. Every member of our team is dedicated to treating every client like part of the EBT family, with a relentless focus on responsiveness, integrity, and long-term client satisfaction.

Services
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Deep groove ball bearings are designed to reduce friction and support both radial and axial loads for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Their rolling ball design replaces sliding surfaces to deliver low friction and high operational efficiency. Clients choose these bearings for reliable, long-lasting performance in equipment that requires smooth, consistent motion under varying load conditions.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Cylindrical roller bearings are built to perform in high-load, punishing industrial environments where durability is non-negotiable. They are available in single-row, double-row, and a wide range of other engineered sizes and configurations to fit unique equipment requirements. These bearings deliver superior load capacity and consistent performance for applications in mining, construction, and heavy material handling operations.
Spherical Roller Bearings
Spherical roller bearings are engineered for high-load applications that require consistent performance even under misalignment and shock loading. They are manufactured in single-row and double-row designs, with additional custom configurations available for specialized use cases. These bearings are trusted by steel, pulp and paper, and energy generation clients for reliable, downtime-free operation.
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings use thin cylindrical rollers with a larger contact area to support higher load capacities while maintaining a compact, space-saving profile. Their design requires less clearance around the axle, making them ideal for applications with limited installation space. Clients in automotive, textile, and agriculture choose these bearings for high performance in tight, high-load spaces.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle combined radial and axial loads with high accuracy for demanding high-speed and high-load applications. They are manufactured in single-row and double-row assemblies, with additional engineered sizes available for specialized use. These bearings are widely used in automotive, rail, and heavy equipment for precise load handling and long service life.
