What Rexnord does

Rexnord designs, manufactures, and services precision-engineered mechanical power transmission components for industrial customers worldwide. The company is organized around six core product categories — bearings, conveying solutions, couplings, gear drives, industrial chain, and PT drive components — supported by proprietary sub-brands including Duralon filament bearings, Falk Steelflex grid couplings, Link-Belt bearings, Cambridge metal conveyor belts, and Kop-Flex disc couplings. Notable technologies include 11 patents on Duralon self-lubricating filament bearings (rated to 77,000 psi static crush), Falk Steelflex grid couplings proven 4.7X–16X more durable than competitors in third-party testing, and a Smart Solutions digital layer (DiRXN platform, Perceptiv condition monitoring, Smart Tags). Rexnord operates under the Process & Motion Control segment of Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX), formed in 2021 via the merger of Regal Beloit with Rexnord's PMC business, followed by the 2022 acquisition of Altra Industrial Motion. The company serves nine vertical end-markets — industrial manufacturing, food & beverage, mining, aerospace, energy, marine, automotive, cement, and data centers — through a global distributor network, direct enterprise sales, and an e-commerce storefront with 10,000+ employees and manufacturing/service centers worldwide.
