What gearbox and transmission buyers say about our Koyo bearings

Buyers rate Koyo Bearings: Source Factory Direct Sales between ★4.9 and ★5.0 for correct Koyo references, genuine JTEKT product and delivery on agreed dates. Reviews are reproduced word for word.

Gearbox Rebuild ★★★★★ 5.0
"Our gearbox rebuild shop uses Koyo tapered and cylindrical roller bearings from jpkoyo.com. Every bearing matches the JTEKT execution we specify, and our rebuilt gearboxes are running longer between overhauls."

Questions before sending your list

What should I send if the Koyo suffix is missing?

Send a clear photo of the bearing markings, the equipment model and the bearing position, and note which items still need confirming. We complete the configuration and assembly details with you before quoting, and any technical change needs your approval.

Can bearings and mounting parts go on one inquiry?

Yes. List the bearings, adapter sleeves and housings as separate lines on the same inquiry. That way the full assembly is quoted together and no part is missing at overhaul.
