Revitalize Your Bearings with NSK's Comprehensive Reconditioning Program

WHAT IS RECONDITIONING?

Reconditioning brings used bearings back to life. This is accomplished through various procedures that may include: cleaning, polishing, grinding, replacement, resetting and refinishing. This process restores bearings, bringing them back to like-new specifications and performance.

WHEN TO RECONDITION?

Routine maintenance checks can indicate signs of bearing fatigue and a need for further inspection. In addition, knowing the history, performance and operating environment will provide indications as to the condition of the bearing. Not all bearings will benefit from reconditioning. Some bearings may be too damaged, requiring the purchase of a new bearing. NSK can help you determine whether reconditioning would be beneficial for your specific bearing requirements.

WHY RECONDITION?

Many times, a bearing can be reconditioned and placed back into service, extending the life of the bearing while avoiding the possible high cost and lengthy lead times of a new bearing. Reconditioned bearings that are not returned to service immediately, but stored for later service, can reduce inventory costs. Reconditioning can cost a fraction of the time and money compared to new. Original specifications are used to ensure the bearing’s quality, functionality and performance. A warranty is provided to further support the quality of work used to recondition the bearing. Reconditioning is a timely, reliable and cost-effective means of maintaining productivity and reducing downtime.
