Every situation is unique and depends on the severity of the damage. If we cannot repair your bearing(s), our sister division, Bearing and Drive Systems, may have a replacement in stock.

BMC holds our tolerancing that meets or exceeds ABMA and large manufacturer's standards.
It is always best to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for storage. Proper storage starts with a clean bearing, we have parts washers that can accommodate bearing around 4’ in diameter, and we have wash tanks that can handle anything larger. BMC uses rust inhibitor, Cosmoline for longer storage, VCI wrap, and vinyl wrap over that to ensure no outside contamination can attack the bearing.
We can help you find the right grease for your application by working with the manufacturer to find what grease best suits your workload.
We provide a superior quality service at a very competitive price and lead time. Most often, we hold more consistent and tighter tolerances than our competitors.
