custom bearings

Bearing Service Company (BSC) offers reverse engineering services for industrial bearings that lack spec drawings and other custom requirements.

Whether you require special purpose machine (SPM) bearings, legacy equipment bearings, or any other unique replacement bearings for which the original drawings cannot be obtained, our experts will engineer a perfect-fit component that meets all original specifications.

Reverse Engineering for Replacement Bearings

Naturally, no two reverse engineering projects are the same. In today’s world of complex industrial bearing requirements, we set ourselves apart by offering comprehensive engineering and manufacturing services. That includes developing your replacement bearings from the ground up. While detailed drawings are always ideal, BSC is proud to offer complete reverse engineering services when original specifications cannot be obtained.

Developing New Replacement Bearings for Legacy Equipment

Many legacy systems and older industrial equipment may no longer have readily available technical documentation or design specifications for the exact required bearings. Our reverse engineering services allow us to extract all critical dimensional specifications and material information from your existing bearings, which is essential for creating accurate replacement parts with precision specifications.

Our reverse engineering expertise also facilitates customization and upgrading of components to meet new performance targets. Obviously, the operating conditions and performance requirements of industrial equipment have significantly changed over time. In today’s factories, it’s all about high-speed, highly efficient machinery.

Through reverse engineering, we can develop new custom replacement bearings that help your legacy equipment more readily meet modern high-performance operational requirements.

Engineering a New Solution for Damaged Bearings

Unfortunately, it’s not too uncommon for industrial bearings to fail catastrophically, or otherwise to become worn well beyond specification. As one of the industry’s leading bearing repair and remanufacturing experts, BSC is capable of evaluating even the most extremely compromised bearings.

Our team has even worked on a number of projects where the old bearing is sent in pieces after exploding or completely breaking up during use. Even if the bearing is in numerous pieces, BSC can reverse engineer a replacement bearing as long as we have envelope dimensions.

Small Runs of Specialty Bearings

In many cases, OEMs and other large industrial bearing manufacturers cannot cost-effectively fulfill small orders of specialty bearings that require reverse engineering. The overhead and cost of development are simply too high for larger enterprises to offer custom bearings beyond their standard catalog.

That’s not the case at BSC. Our integrated reverse engineering processes and lean manufacturing solutions help us economically tackle small runs. Having built our business around our customers’ unique needs, we do not limit ourselves to merely fulfilling orders based on size.

Engineering Better Industrial Bearing Solutions Since 1933

BSC is one of America’s leading independent manufacturers and repair sources for industrial bearing projects. Founded in 1933, we provide industry-leading experience in virtually all bearing types, including expertise in reverse engineering.
