Overview
Koyo is the bearing brand of JTEKT and has been making bearings since 1921. It was the first in Japan to produce four row taper roller bearings for rolling mill work rolls, in 1943, and heavy industry has been its ground ever since: steel making, railways, wind power and aircraft.
Petrofab holds Koyo in Doha and quotes the rest of the Koyo catalogue through its supplier base.
What we supply
Ball, cylindrical roller, taper roller, spherical roller, needle roller and thrust bearings, bearing units and oil seals, in metric and imperial sizes.

Send the number stamped on the side of the ring with the quantity you need, and we come back with a quotation, typically within one business day.
And many more. The Koyo catalogue runs to thousands of part numbers and we supply and quote across all of them.
Reading a Koyo number
These are the codes on the Koyo bearings we hold.
| Code | What it means |
| 7xxx | Angular contact ball bearing, which takes combined radial and axial load in one direction |
| B | Contact angle variant on an angular contact bearing |
| C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal |
A bearing usually has an equivalent under another brand, and the letters are where the two differ. Send whichever number is in front of you and we will identify what fits.
Ordering
Send us the Koyo number with the quantity. If the marking has worn off, send the bore, the outside diameter and the width, and tell us what it runs in and how hard it works. We will identify the equivalent and quote it. Quantities and delivery are confirmed on the quotation.
The full bearing range, and every brand we carry, is on our bearings page.
