General Bearing Corp.: Tank Car Components

General Bearing Corp.


General Bearing has been manufacturing tank car components since 1943. The 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. General Bearing manufactures Eyebolts and Rod Ends used on tank car manway covers and pressure vessels for demanding rail applications. These components are produced from high-quality domestic steel and are designed for strength, durability, and long service life. Our parts are heat treated in an atmosphere-controlled environment to ensure consistent hardness, material integrity, and dependable performance. Many components are also induction hardened to provide enhanced wear resistance while maintaining a tough, ductile core capable of withstanding demanding operating conditions. With over 80 years of experience, General Bearing remains committed to supplying dependable American-made tank car components with consistent quality and performance.
