Initial inspection Inspection and documentation of turning torque, free-state clearance, gearsize, and external features.
Disassembly and cleaning Bearings are disassembled and the races, rolling elements, and spacers arecleaned.
Non-destructive testing Races undergo visual or magnetic particle inspection to detect cracks ordefects. Hardness readings are recorded.
Repairability assessment The service department reviews each bearing, application, and test result todetermine repairability.
Precision grinding Bearing races are precision-ground to the proper geometry to optimize thebearing load-carrying capability.
Assembly The bearing is assembled with new rolling elements and seals, and packed withlubricant.
Final inspection All critical features are inspected and documented. The bearing is approved byquality control before shipment.
Manufacture If at any time during the process the repair does not meet Kaydon's demandingspecifications, a replacement race or a new bearing can be manufactured. Mineoperators can take advantage of big cost savings with our inventory of replacement mining swing bearings.
