The American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA) is a non-profit association consisting of American manufacturers of anti-friction bearings,
spherical plain bearings or major components thereof. The purpose of ABMA is to define national and international standards for bearing products and

There are two meetings each year, an Annual Conference in conjunction with the American Gear Manufacturers Association and a Fall Meeting for ABMA members.
