When bearings fail to meet their expected life or performance levels, the consequences are far-reaching and include, increased downtime, high maintenance costs, loss of revenue, and missed deliveries. This has a negative impact on your reputation, and your bottom line. To help mitigate failures and provide remedial action, NPBS Bearings can expertly examine, test, and analyze a wide range of bearing performance parameters in our laboratories. We can perform bearing failure analysis on your bearings regardless of brand, and even if they were sourced elsewhere.
Simply stated, NPBS has the tools and experience to guide its customers into understanding what may or did cause the early failure and guide customers towards preventive action. Through the use of video microscope, dimensional inspection including roundness, raceway radius, and surface roughness (Ra), hardness, torque, and digital noise/vibration, NPBS has the means to isolate and identify the root cause of an early failure.
