STANDOUT INNOVATION
IN NBC’ S ARSENAL IS THE QCB SLEW DRIVE RANGE
NBC Group Limited. Based in Shropshire, England, NBC has solidified its position as a leading UK provider of bearing and power transmission components. With a rich legacy of technical partnership, the company supports a wide spectrum of industries— from mining and agriculture to offshore oil and gas— by delivering integrated solutions tailored to original equipment manufacturers( OEMs) across the globe.
Central to NBC’ s offering is its exclusive QCB brand, which features a comprehensive range of slewing rings and ring gears. Slewing rings are a vital component in the rotation of heavy loads, offering a low-profile, high-performance, and cost-effective solution. Designed to withstand axial, radial, and moment loads within a sealed, easy-to-install bearing unit, these components exemplify engineering elegance and efficiency.
What truly sets NBC apart is its attention to detail and commitment to quality. Every QCB bearing undergoes stringent quality checks and is manufactured to specifications defined by NBC’ s in-house technical experts. The QCB range spans single and double row ball bearings, crossed roller designs, and massive triple
row roller bearings for the heaviest applications— demonstrating the brand’ s capability to meet both standard and highly specialized demands.
NBC doesn’ t stop at bearings. With increasing customer demand, the company also designs and supplies mating gearing and motive power units, ensuring seamless integration and peak performance. This holistic approach has elevated the QCB name on the international stage, earning the trust of OEMs and end-users from Europe to North America and beyond.
A standout innovation in NBC’ s arsenal is the QCB slew drive range. The latest WGWEA series features a true worm gear and worm shaft configuration, offering superior performance and improved sealing compared to previous models. Ideal for applications in solar tracking, materials handling, and heavy lift transportation, these slew drives exemplify NBC’ s drive to push the boundaries of efficiency and durability.
As industries face growing pressure for smarter, more reliable components, NBC Group continues to meet the challenge— quietly enabling the rotation behind some of the world’ s most powerful machines.
