Have you ever struggled to find a replacement bearing, only to realize that it’s obsolete or that no standard bearing fits your unique application?
This is a common challenge in industries where precision and reliability are essential.
Equipment downtime can cost companies thousands of dollars per hour. Operations can halt for days or weeks if a bearing isn’t readily available.
That’s where BMC’s custom-bearing solutions come in. Whether you need a reverse-engineered bearing or a material upgrade, BMC ensures you get a solution tailored to your needs.
In today’s bearing industry, standard bearings don’t always meet the necessary requirements. Businesses often need bearings that can handle extreme conditions, high speeds, corrosive environments, or heavy loads.
Common reasons for choosing custom bearings include:
When a standard bearing isn’t an option, a custom solution ensures that the equipment continues running efficiently.
BMC provides custom-bearing solutions to a wide range of industries, including:
Each industry presents unique challenges, from extreme temperatures to high-impact conditions, requiring specialized bearing solutions.
BMC follows a structured approach to ensure each custom bearing is designed for performance, longevity, and reliability.
By following this process, BMC ensures that businesses receive what they need for their specific applications.
When a bearing becomes obsolete, companies often face two choices: redesign expensive equipment or find a replacement. BMC specializes in reverse engineering, allowing businesses to get exact replacements without modifying machinery.
How Reverse Engineering Works
This process saves businesses time and money while ensuring a seamless transition from old to new components.
Material selection is critical to ensuring a bearing’s longevity and performance. BMC uses various materials to match different application needs.
By selecting the best material for the job, BMC ensures durability and performance even in the most demanding conditions.
Precision and Reliability in Custom Bearings
For industries that rely on legacy equipment, precision is crucial. BMC adheres to strict industry standards to ensure each custom bearing:
If original blueprints aren’t available, BMC uses advanced measurement tools and scanning technology to ensure accurate replication.
Innovation in Custom Bearing Manufacturing
Unlike mass manufacturers focused on high-volume production, BMC specializes in small-batch, high-precision manufacturing. This approach includes:
This combination of expertise and adaptability allows BMC to deliver high-quality, custom solutions tailored to specific industrial needs.
Steel Mill Bearing Replacement
A major steel manufacturer needed to replace an obsolete rolling mill bearing. Since no supplier had an exact match, BMC reverse-engineered the bearing, created detailed technical drawings, and manufactured an identical replacement. This allowed the company to avoid expensive equipment modifications and downtime.
Solving Material Challenges
A client required bearings made from M50 steel, a high-performance material that is difficult to source. BMC procured the material, optimized the design, and delivered a durable, high-quality solution tailored to the client’s needs.
We follow strict quality control measures, including:
Every custom bearing undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets or exceeds the original design specifications.
BMC continues to invest in research and development to stay ahead of industry trends. Key focus areas include:
By continuously improving its processes, BMC ensures businesses have a trusted partner for custom-bearing solutions.
If standard bearings don’t fit your needs, BMC has the expertise and technology to deliver a perfect solution.
