Durable Center Support Bearings for Drive Shafts
High load capacity and excellent vibration resistance
Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Manufacturer
Trans Power (TP) manufactures driveshaft center support bearings, also known as center bearings, carrier bearings, propshaft support bearings, and hanger bearings, with a portfolio of more than 200 references covering over 300 passenger cars, pickups, vans, buses, and commercial vehicles for European, North American, Asian, and South American markets.
As a critical component of the driveline system, our center support bearings combine a precision bearing with a high-performance rubber mount to reduce vibration, minimize noise, and maintain driveshaft alignment. Each product is engineered for reliable performance, excellent durability, and OE-compatible fit and function under demanding operating conditions.
Typical MOQ ranges from 100 pieces per reference. Manufactured in China and Thailand under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified quality management systems, our products are exported to customers in more than 50 countries, supporting OEM, aftermarket, distributors, and automotive parts brands worldwide.
Rubber Compound Is the Product
The bearing rarely fails first — the mount does. Our damping formula is specified for vibration absorption and heat ageing, which is what decides whether the part lasts a warranty period.

One Part, Six Names
Depending on the region and OEM terminology, this component may be referred to as a driveshaft center support bearing, center bearing, carrier bearing, propshaft support bearing, or hanger bearing. Regardless of the name, it performs the same essential function: supporting the intermediate section of a two-piece driveshaft, reducing vibration and noise, and maintaining proper shaft alignment for reliable driveline performance.
What Is Inside — and What Actually Fails
A driveshaft center support bearing consists of a precision bearing integrated into a specially engineered rubber mount. While the bearing supports shaft rotation, the rubber mount plays a critical role in absorbing vibration, reducing noise, and maintaining proper driveshaft alignment. The quality of both components is essential to ensure reliable performance and long service life.

Applications
Driveshaft center support bearings are typically used in two-piece driveshaft systems, making them especially common in rear-wheel-drive pickups, vans, buses, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks. As a wear-related driveline component, the rubber mount naturally deteriorates over time due to heat, load, and operating conditions, creating consistent aftermarket replacement demand.
