Welcome to NOVA / TCB
NOVA/TCB provides custom bearings and bearing components primarily manufactured at our own plants in China (ZYZ/TCB and HTAP) as well as our strategic partner plants in India. Together, our manufacturing facilities have developed a reputation of providing the highest quality bearings and bearing components available. NOVA/TCB also provides a large assortment of welded and seamless precision cut tubing to the automotive industry, machined components to several OEM customers, as well as specialty cast, machined, and assembled components for the luxury appliance and lighting markets.
Bearings
Bearings are available in many types & sizes including Taper, Cylindrical, Roller, Ball, Needle and Thrust. All bearings are made in accordance with the customers material and dimensional requirements and are inspected prior to leaving our manufacturing facilities.
Bearing Components
Components are manufactured utilizing automated line technology to reduce the cost to our customers and improve both capability and capacity. Upon arrival into the U.S., the components undergo sampling plan inspection to ensure conformance to customer requirements. They are then inventoried in our warehouses (in Tennessee and Mexico) until customer release requires shipment.
Super Finished Rollers
In 2014 Nova/TCB and ZYZ/TCB executed a second joint venture and in 2016 opened a brand-new bearing facility, our HTAP plant, in Haining, China. In addition to housing our primary heat treatment facilities, precision rollers (and some larger bearing components) are manufactured there. The rollers are then shipped in the finish ground condition to our Tennessee location. In Tennessee, the rollers are super finished using a patented isotropic process to produce the best finish available. Nova/TCB ships over a million super finished rollers each month to the US bearing industry. The rollers are provided in various sizes and contours to match customer requirements. The rollers can be super finished to a <3µ inch finish without the use of expensive honing equipment, providing competitive pricing to our customer base.
Automotive Tubing
Utilizing strategic partners in both China and South Korea, we provide precision cut tubing to the US automotive industry. NOVA/TCB provides Cut/Formed Tubing in either seamless or welded configuration. If required by customer specifications, the tubing can be cold drawn to close tolerances on the inner and outer diameters. Often the cold-drawn product is more competitive than a “wrapped” tube product and provides savings to our customers.
Luxury Appliance and Lighting Components
With the advent of a partnership in 2020, Nova TCB began a relationship with both new vendors and customers to develop componentry for both the luxury appliance and industrial LED lighting markets. This business has also become a staple of our product offerings.
Manufacturing
In an effort to continually expand as our customer’s needs grow, NOVA/TCB performs both light machining and assembly in our Tennessee location in addition to roller superfinishing, further complementing the manufacturing capabilities of our offshore facilities. Utilizing both Servocam Ultraturn and Hydromat equipment, we have the capability to produce fully machined bearing componentry. Automated assembly cells are utilized to assemble needle bearings for our OEM customers.
