This prospectus supplement relates to the resale by the selling securityholders of 2.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2024 issued by REGAL-BELOIT Corporation and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.
This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus dated March 14, 2005, including any amendment or supplement thereto. The terms of the notes are set forth in the prospectus.

Where the name of a selling securityholder identified in the table below also appears in the table in the prospectus, the information set forth in the table below regarding that selling securityholder supercedes the information in the prospectus. We have prepared the table below based on information furnished to us by the selling securityholders listed below on or before August 3, 2005. Because selling securityholders may trade all or some of the notes listed at any time without notifying us, the table below may not reflect the exact value of the notes held by each such selling securityholder on the date of this prospectus supplement.
