Press Release Body = West Trenton, NJ - NiceT Ball Bearings, a division of RBC
Bearings Incorporated (RBC Bearings, RBC - Nasdaq: ROLL), announces the availability
of a full line of ground, semiground, and unground bearing assemblies. The line
includes inch dimension, radial, angular contact, and thrust ball bearings. Standard
series bearings can be customized to include many features that can satisfy the
demands of special applications. They are available with special bores, modified
outer ring shapes, extended inner rings, locking devices, and flanged housings.
NiceT Ball Bearings, the oldest ball bearing brand name in the U.S., is best known
for high quality ball bearings for a variety of special applications, using special
materials and lubricants. Nice products are available through RBC's authorized
distribution network.

According to Doug Werner, Sr. Product Manager for NiceT, "NiceT makes a variety of
special ball bearings that are used in applications varying from high temperatures
to corrosive environments. For example, we produce a heat stabilized bearing used in
the glass making industry, where temperatures reach 600°F. It is designed to
withstand the constant high temperature operating conditions, significantly
extending the customers service life of this bearing when compared to its original
design. We also manufacture a number of specialty bearings that have molded urethane
tires on the OD for use in inspecting and conveying equipment. Not many companies
are interested in working with molded over urethane tires because design and the
material can vary widely, depending on the application. Engineers from NiceT are
always looking for new and different materials to help extend the life of the
product, with overall customer satisfaction in mind."

"It is most cost effective for a manufacturer to make one type of bearing day-in and
day-out," continues Werner. "Specials are generally not cost effective in
high-volume ball bearing plants because of the costs associated with breaking down
and retooling the equipment. The NiceT business is built on producing these special
ball bearings for our customers." An example of a special product that NiceT
produces is The EverGlide T-BallT which is used by major cargo handlers in the U.S.
Our engineers designed the EverGlide T-BallT to withstand harsh operating
conditions, where there are varying environmental conditions ranging from rain,
snow, ice, and dirt. We have incorporated our 60 plus years of design experience to
provide a product with proprietary coatings that are resistant to glycol, calcium
chloride, and other de-icing compounds. Our patented unit features improved
geometry to increase the load carrying capability and smoother running quality in
all directions. Our design ensures unrivaled performance."
