Royersford
The company was founded on June 11, 1890 as the Royersford Machine Company. Foundry operations were added in 1896. The Company was then incorporated as the Royersford Foundry and Machine Co., Inc. on February 1, 1904.
The Company was formed to produce a product line of Power Transmission Products. These consisted of mainly Shaft Hangers, Split and Solid roller Bearings, Shaft Couplings, Shaft Collars, Flat Belt Iron Pulleys, Solid and Split Journal Bearings, etc. These were produced in many sizes and styles up to 6″ diameter shafting.
In the early 1900’s, a line of Machine Tools were added to our products. These included Drill Presses, Pedestal Grinders, Punch and Shear Machines (now known as Universal Iron Workers), Arbor Presses and Foundry Tumbling Mills. During World War II, the Company worked to capacity producing over 2000 Drill Presses which were installed on Navy ships. At the present time, only Arbor Presses remain in our product line from the original line of Machine Tools. In 1986 we added our Type E Mounted Bearing product line exclusively using Timken tapered roller bearings, and in 2012 we added our R2000 Mounted Bearing product line exclusively using SKF spherical roller bearings.
