Senergy Industrial Solutions - Custom Housed Units

Comparing Their Options at a Glance

The Full Story

Senergy Industrial Solutions has worked with Bearing & Drive Systems and Bearing Manufacturing Company on several projects. All projects have gone smoothly but the most impressive job involved 2 pinion bearings and 2 special OEM Housings.

These 10” ID bearings failed and the plant had a very short window of time to get them replaced and back in service because our plant shut down. The OEM had a 12-14 week lead time.

The crew at Bearing & Drives and Bearing Manufacturing broke down the failed units and provided the plant with very a detailed failure analysis. After reviewing the data collected and considering the application parameters, several changes were recommended by both the BDS and BMC team.

The following modifications were made in house by BDS and BMC:

• Modify the standard clearance bearing to a C3 fit
• Add Viton Seals
• Fabricate and incorporate locating rings in the OEM Housing
• Repair the OEM Housing

All this happened in a 2-week timeframe which was very expedited. The modified and assembled units were couriered to their shop and installed in the required time frame.

"BDS is our go-to bearing repair shop because of their ability to provide extremely valuable technical support coupled with master workmanship," said Mel Young at Senergy Industrial Solutions

Now, the bearings run cooler and smoother than before and the modifications and overall repair jobs were exceptional, according to Young.
