General Bearing Corp.: Freight Car and Tank Car Components

General Bearing Corp.


General Bearing has been manufacturing freight car and tank car components since 1943. Our products are produced to the strict specifications and requirements of the AAR and are proudly made in the USA using steel that is melted and poured in the United States with full material traceability. Many of the wear components are induction hardened or heat treated to provide a durable, wear-resistant outer surface while maintaining a tough, ductile core for added strength and impact resistance. This combination helps reduce wear, extend service life, and improve overall reliability in demanding rail applications, the company says. With over 80 years of manufacturing experience, General Bearing remains committed to producing dependable, high-quality American-made components for the rail industry.
