Equipment Maintenance & Spare Parts

Maintenance teams replace worn bearings in motors, fans, conveyors, pillow block supports, vehicles and field machinery, often while equipment is waiting to restart. Markings may be worn, original documents may be missing, and the replacement must fit the existing shaft and housing without redesign. Buyers care most about correct identification, like-for-like execution and a clear availability date.

• Record the complete marking from the old bearing and photograph it clearly, noting any characters that cannot be read so that they can be confirmed before replacement.
• Measure bore, outside diameter and width if markings are lost, and check the shaft and housing seats for wear before fitting a new bearing.
• Investigate the cause of failure, as contamination, misalignment or poor lubrication may call for a sealed version or a corrected mounting rather than a like-for-like change.
• Have any substitute reference reviewed against load, speed and clearance requirements, and order new sleeves, seals and locking parts where the old ones show wear.
