Edwin Lowe

Since 1915 Edwin Lowe Limited has specialised in deep-drawn presswork - we produced brass shell cases for example during World War I and World War II - although today of course, our products are used in much more peaceful applications! Since the late 1970s the company has specialised in the design and manufacture of precision deep drawn steel beari... ng housings - for welded steel conveyor rollers - used by our customers both here in the UK and overseas. Based upon our unique range of steel bearing housings - the company has pioneered the development of a new kind of product - the prefabricated pressed steel roller bearing housing assembly - otherwise known as a "cartridge". This "cartridge" is a complete stand alone sub-assembly which provides a completely prefabricated end of a welded steel roller - i.e. all necessary components including the bearing housing, the ball bearing, the sealing arrangement - even the grease - are all locked within the steel bearing housing itself to provide a completely prefabricated unit. The original prototype cartridge was produced during the early 1980s. These components are now widely used by roller manufacturers around the world and have gained a reputation for quality, ruggedness and longevity. We now have a state of the art robotic automated manufacturing facility in Birmingham, UK upon which all of our components are manufactured.Read More
