Absolutely. Depending on the type of repair, research* has shown it is possible to restore the full, useful life of your bearings. In many cases, a bearing is repairable multiple times – extending its service life and improving your overall cost of operation – without sacrificing quality.

Timken has a dedicated team of bearing repair experts. This team employs strict Timken standards and quality control in the remanufacturing process. In addition, the repaired bearing is backed by an industry-leading warranty.

Usually caused by moisture or water contamination, this chemical action is in the form of rust, attacking bearing component surfaces.

Bearing repair is a green maintenance procedure, requiring minimal energy input and significantly reducing raw material consumption when compared to manufacturing new bearings.

Upgrade with ES Coatings: This advanced coating technology helps prevent bearings from peeling in areas where roller skidding occurs, typically under low load and speed conditions. Skidding breaks through the lubricant film of a bearing, leading to premature damage to rollers and races. This protection can lead to greater uptime and performance.

Also known as flaking, fine grain or course grain spalling. Damage appears on the bearing raceway or rolling element as metal flakes or scale-like particles.

Generally suited for bearings with a 12 in. interior diameter (I.D.) and larger, our repair methods are comprehensive, methodical and extensive – often using grinding operations to remove damage below the surface and restore bearing geometry.

Reclamation: Typically used for bearings with a 3 in. - 8 in. I.D. (larger, economical quantities required). Bearing assemblies cleaned, polished using our proprietary vibratory process, inspected, preserved and packaged.

What type of bearing damage can be repaired? The following guide outlines common types of bearing damage and Timken repair solutions.

Localized surface depressions that are caused by debris or foreign materials that travel within the lubricant, through the bearing, and dent internal surfaces

Additionally, we can remanufacture any bearing type or brand, certify them to OEM standards – and we back that promise with a “same as new” one-year warranty. Any heavy industrial application, from paper, metals and mining, to power-generation and cement are all candidates for this service.

Appears as a significant visible surface crack that is usually caused by improper handling or unusual operating conditions.

Reconditioning (Type 2): Bearing assemblies cleaned, examined, polished, honed or tumbled to remove minor surface defects (primarily rust or corrosion), measured for verification of internal clearances, inspected, preserved and packaged.

When compared to manufacturing new, lead-times are significantly reduced with bearing repair. Shorter lead times can increase uptime.

Regrinding raceways requires the manufacture of oversized rollers to compensate for the removed material and to maintain bearing geometry and clearance where radial internal clearance is critical. When lateral clearance is critical, oversized rollers, new spacers or additional shims are provided.

Timken’s remanufacturing program is designed to provide “like new” bearings faster, and at a lower cost than newly manufactured bearings. By using this proprietary service, customers may increase bearing life up to four times, save up to 50% over the cost of new, and ensure availability in a fraction of the time.

When it is time to replace bearings, you can install the remanufactured part from your inventory, avoiding stock-outs and costly downtime.

Also known as smearing, scoring or galling. Damage is caused by metalto- metal contact, resulting in the removal and transfer of metal from one bearing component to another.

Balermachine

Also known as friction oxidation. Typically occurs on the bore, O.D. and face of the bearing race due to minute movement of these surfaces and the shaft or housing. Red or black oxide of iron is usually evident under close fit conditions.

A permanent deformation of a bearing surface at the roller and race-way contact areas caused by excessive load or impact.

Remanufacturing (Type 3): Bearing assemblies cleaned, examined, raceways reground, new roller sets and major components manufactured and replaced as required, internal clearances reset, inspected, preserved and packaged.

New rolling elements meet or exceed manufacturer’s requirements for material, geometry and surface finish. Each rolling element is 100% visually and dimensionally inspected and tested in accordance with all applicable OEM specifications.

Occurs when the contact surface has been degraded and worn away by mechanical action while the bearing is in use.

Modifications: We can add special features, including advanced coatings, to existing or new bearing assemblies to enhance performance, retrofit to special applications or upgrade to our most recent product designs.

Timken repair experts can help you to identify the type of bearing damage, determine the root-cause and recommend the best repair method.

Recertification (Type 1): Bearing assemblies cleaned, examined, measured for verification of internal clearances, inspected, preserved and packaged. This process is used to recertify a bearing for service – generally applying to an unused product with an outdated shelf life.

With each repair cycle, you can save 20 to 60 percent of the cost of replacing the bearing. Repair the same bearing twice, and you could cover the cost of a new bearing.

Every bearing, upon completion of repairs, undergoes extensive visual and dimensional inspection in accordance with Timken-approved procedures, and OEM acceptance criteria (where available).
