J. & E. Papadopoulos SA is recently an authorized distributor of ASAHI Bearing Units in Greece.
ASAHI SEIKO Co., LTD. ranks among top bearings manufacturers with their high-quality Japanese bearing units.
In 1928, under the original moniker SKI Bearing Manufacturing, its visionary founder, Mr. Shibata, inaugurated the production of ball bearings in the town of Sakai in Osaka Prefecture.
A decade later, the company embraced the symbol of the rising sun in its name, radiating not only in its native Japan but beyond.
In 1951, ASAHI introduced its proprietary bearing units, positioning itself as the vanguard among esteemed Japanese manufacturers.
The company's adept engineers meticulously refined the original bearing unit, introducing several patented features.
ASAHI's ball-bearing units are distinguished by unique characteristics, including a judicious combination of a locking pin and a loose fit
between the bearing outer ring and housing bore.
This design not only ensures precise self-alignment but also mitigates outer ring rotation.
