RSM Bearings (Pty) Ltd.

Industrial Supplies

South Africa

RSM Bearings is a South African based company that facilitates the manufacture and supply of quality large bearings. We manufacture all ball bearings, roller bearings & slewing bearings from 300mm to 8000mm in diameter & we are able to supply within a very reasonable lead time. Fairly recently RSM has taken yet another step to improve our Slewing bearing quality and provide our clients with additional peace of mind. 

RSM now collaborates with a French company by the name of ATHOS in the production of all our slewing bearings. While it is a relatively young company it certainly comes with experience and superfluous credentials. 

ATHOS is owned and run by Pierre Bonhomme, a man that has been in the slew bearing business since 1974 working with ROLLIX & ROTHE ERDE from his inception all the way up until 1994. Then in 1994 he started his own company BRB TECHNOLOGIES, to manufacture special slew bearings. He later sold the company with the intention of doing something else but in the end at the request of old clients has come back to what he does best, which led to the start of ATHOS.

Radial bearings, Trust bearings
By the shape of rolling  elements each of these groups is further categorized into ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, needle roller bearings, spherical roller bearings  and tapered roller bearings.

Most of radial bearings  are able to accommodate forces in axial direction too, just as some types of  thrust bearings can also cope with radial load. From the angle of action of  forces there does not exist an accurate boundary between both mentioned basic  groups of bearings.

In order to select an  optimum rolling bed both from technical and economic viewpoint, the designer  should be well acquainted with characteristic properties of bearings as a  result of their different inner configurations. Not until then can the most  suitable bearing be selected for a particular application and its respective operating conditions.
