Bearing Repair
According to various sources, a bearing can often be repaired instead of being outright replaced, offering significant cost savings. The savings on a reconditioned bearing can range from 20% to 80% when compared to purchasing a new one.

The process begins with an in-depth cleaning and inspection to evaluate the bearing's current condition.
Raceways may be polished or re-ground as needed, and new parts such as rollers are crafted, while cage pockets are enlarged where necessary.
Every worn or damaged area is reworked or replaced to ensure the bearing's complete restoration.
The final inspection ensures that all components undergo a thorough check, assuring that each reconditioned bearing adheres to our stringent quality standards for extended service life.

Repair or Replace Bearing?
How do you decide if a bearing should be repaired or replaced? Engage your distributor to reach out to American Roller Bearing specialists.
In collaboration with our distributor network, we assist your maintenance team in determining whether a bearing can be remanufactured for extended service or if a new bearing is essential. Depending on the circumstances, you can either send the bearing to our manufacturing and repair facility for a complimentary assessment or have our Industry Specialists conduct an on-site inspection. We can coordinate regular visits from our Industry Specialists to assess bearings during scheduled inspections, or you may contact us as needed.
Our Industry Specialists are also available to train your maintenance team on various topics to enhance shop safety and extend the performance and lifespan of your bearings. Training topics include storage and handling, installation and maintenance, prolonging life through field repairs, and recognizing and understanding failure modes.
