Bearing Modification

Our modification program provides customers with flexible solutions to their bearing problems. Through the use of existing inventory we can modify standard products to fit the most specific application requirements. Modifying existing products reduces lead time and increases savings while significantly enhancing the products performance in application. We are equipped to conduct precision and simple modifications, ensuring the bearing will operate efficiently. Bearing modification is part of the industrial bearing Condition Analysis Reclamation (CAR) program. Carter Manufacturing Limited offers a range of bearing modification services to support our customers that push their bearings to the limit.

The bearing modifications are separate from our bearing relubrication services as they fundamentally change the geometry of the bearing assembly. Increasing the radial clearance to account for thermal expansion for high temperature applications can drastically improve bearing performance. Adding anti-rotation features so there is no slippage in the system through a temperature gradient is a way to bring your mechanical system to the next level. 

 

Carter bearings not only perform these bearing modifications but can also utilize decades of application experience to provide consultation on the best options to achieve your goals.
