Kaydon Bearing
Remanufacturing Program
Whatever your industry, you're probably looking for ways to increase productivity, prevent unplanned downtime, and lower your total cost of operation. SKF and Kaydon remanufacturing services can provide a helpful solution.
SKF and Kaydon offer remanufactured bearings designed to deliver reliable performance while helping reduce upfront costs, often by as much as 50% or more compared to purchasing new bearings. Their Bearing Remanufacturing Services aim to support longer bearing service life, lower total life cycle costs, and help minimize unplanned downtime.
1. Initial Inspection
Visual inspection and documentation of raceways, gear, and external features.
2. Disassembly & Cleaning:
Bearings are disassembled and the races are cleaned.
3. Non-Destructive Testing:
Races are visually and magnetic particle inspected to detect cracks or defects. Hardness and case depth readings are recorded.
4. Repairability:
Each bearing is reviewed according to SKF specifications to determine repairability.
5. Precision Machining:
Bearing races are precision machined to the proper geometry, optimizing load carrying capability.
6. Standard Repairs:
Bearings are assembled with new rolling elements, separators, and seals, and packed with lubricant.
7. Final Inspection:
Torque and axial deflection are tested and all critical features are inspected and documented before shipping.
8. Manufacture:
If at any time during the process the repair does not meet Kaydon's demanding specifications, a replacement race or a new bearing can be manufactured.
