In the current market environment, as the official Hungarian distributor of FBJ bearings, we offer a combination that ensures quality, supply security and rapid response — with delivery within 24 hours.
Background and position of FBJ bearings
FBJ is a manufacturer with Japanese roots that is a stable supplier in many industries around the world. Its product range covers the full standard scale, including:
- Deep groove ball bearings – open, shielded (Z/2Z) and sealed (RS/2RS) versions
- Tapered roller bearings – with typical 30xxx series for combined loads (e.g. 30204, 30206, 30209)
- Spherical roller bearings – designed to take high radial and substantial axial loads; one of the highest load-capacity rolling bearing types
- Cylindrical and needle roller bearings – for high radial loads
- Mounted bearing units and inserts – pedestal (UCP), flanged (UCF/UCFL) and other designs
- Special applications – e.g. agricultural disc bearing solutions
FBJ’s philosophy: consistent quality, stable tolerances, reliable materials and disciplined quality control. From a maintenance perspective this means more predictable bearing behavior and less “series scatter”, therefore unexpected vibration and heating problems occur less frequently.
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) – the real cost
The total cost of bearings is determined by three factors:
- Purchase price – FBJ operates at a competitive price level.
- Maintenance cost – with stable tolerances and material quality, fewer unplanned interventions can be expected.
- Downtime cost – the most critical item. This is where BEX’s large inventory and fast delivery come in, capable of minimizing downtime.
If we look at all three factors together, FBJ wins not only on the price tag, but across the entire life cycle as well.
The role of BEX – official Hungarian distributor
Even a good bearing disappoints if it arrives late. As the official distributor, BEX works with a large FBJ inventory, so in urgent cases the required bearing can arrive at the site within 24 hours. In practice this:
- reduces losses from production downtime,
- mitigates your own safety-stock requirement,
- handles both small and large-batch needs flexibly,
- simplifies warranty and quality processes.
Engineering reliability and compatibility of FBJ bearings
FBJ products are manufactured according to ISO/JIS standards and are interchangeable in size and fit with equivalent types from other manufacturers. This makes switching painless: no machine modifications are required and installation follows familiar principles.
Critical selection criteria for a buyer’s checklist:
- Tolerance (P0…P5) and internal clearance (e.g. C3) – aligned to the temperature profile
- Fit (shaft/housing) – aligned to actual operating load and expansion
- Sealing (Z/2Z, RS/2RS) – chosen to match contamination level
- Lubrication compatibility – grease/oil behavior, re-lubrication interval
- Material and heat treatment – fatigue resistance, corrosion protection
So why choose FBJ?
- Reliable quality – consistent manufacturing, predictable service life
- Cost optimization – not only in unit price, but across the full life cycle
- Fast delivery and supply security – BEX large stock, as fast as 24 hours
If we support all this with a contractual SLA and measurable quality indicators, the switch is not only technically warranted but also commercially rational.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do FBJ bearings match premium brands in quality?
Yes. FBJ products are manufactured according to ISO/JIS standards with disciplined quality control. In many industrial applications they have proven to provide stable service life with a competitive price-to-value ratio.
How compatible are FBJ bearings with our existing systems?
Fully. Dimensions and fits are standardized, so most types are directly interchangeable with solutions from other manufacturers; no rebuild is required.
How large is BEX’s stock and how fast is delivery?
As the official distributor, BEX maintains a large FBJ inventory and, in urgent cases, delivers the required bearing within 24 hours, minimizing downtime.
Can we order small quantities, or is it only worth purchasing in large batches?
Service is flexible: distribution efficiently handles small, urgent quantities as well as planned, high-volume purchases.
Will we receive engineering support and documentation?
Yes. Support is available on fit, clearance, lubrication and sealing questions, and compliance and quality documents are also available.
