Reconditioning services include restoration processes, repair and replacement of bearing components, and bearing modifications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“For many of our customers, a strong reconditioning program can play a vital role in managing inventory utilization, mitigating long lead times and ultimately reducing bearing replacement costs,” continued Jajko. “From the outset, our analysis is rigorous – not only of the bearing’s condition, but also the root cause of damage in the application. Our goal is to ensure successful operation of a reconditioned bearing, and to assist our customers with implementing corrective or preventative maintenance measures wherever possible.”</p><p><br/></p>
