Your Local Bearing Maintenance Partner
When a bearing fails on a production line, every hour of downtime costs thousands. Having a local supplier who stocks the right bearings and can dispatch them the same day isn't a convenience — it's a business-critical capability.
Howcroft Group has been supplying bearings and power-transmission products from our Rotherham depot for over 27 years. We stock SKF, FAG, NSK, Timken and ISB bearings on the shelf, ready for same-day collection or emergency dispatch.
#What We Stock
Our 20,000 sq ft Manvers depot carries:
- Deep groove ball bearings — the most common industrial type, from 3mm to 500mm bore
- Cylindrical roller bearings — for heavy radial loads in motors, gearboxes and conveyors
- Taper roller bearings — for combined radial and axial loads in automotive and heavy machinery
- Spherical roller bearings — for shafts that must accommodate misalignment
- Needle roller bearings — for compact, high-load applications
- Pillow block and flange housings — with bearing assemblies ready to fit

#Bearing Cross-Referencing Service
Can't find the exact part number? Our team cross-references between SKF, FAG, NSK, Timken, SNR, RHP and ISB catalogues every day. Bring us the old bearing, the part number or just the dimensions and we'll find the equivalent — often at a better price than the OEM brand.
#Emergency Breakdown Support
When machinery stops outside normal hours, our emergency breakdown line gets you the bearing you need. We'll even open the depot out of hours for critical breakdowns.
#Technical Support
We don't just sell bearings — we help you maintain them. Our engineering team can advise on:
- Lubrication selection and re-greasing intervals
- Failure analysis and root cause investigation
- Condition monitoring setup and interpretation
- Upgrade recommendations for recurring failure positions
