Inspection & Quote

Your Premier Source For USA Manufactured Bearings.

Inspection

At BSC, full inspection reports are provided to the customer with serial numbers, damage modes, incoming critical dimensions, manufacturers’ specification dimensions, and disposition of level of repair required to restore the bearing back to manufacturers’ specification. A repair quote is provided to the customer and work does not proceed until a purchase order is received.

Preliminary Quote

BSC can provide a preliminary estimate for bearing modification or bearing repair by providing the bearing part number or the brand, type, and dimensions. More accurate preliminary quotes are available through on-site inspections by a BSC representative.

Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection at BSC

BSC will provide a free inspection and quote as a complementary service. The bearing will be carefully disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. Every critical dimension will be measured and compared to the manufacturers’ specification. Damage modes will be identified to help determine the root cause of any fatigue present.

Inbound Inspection Report and Quote Provided to Customer

The customer is always provided with the inbound inspection report and final quote. Work does not proceed until a purchase order is received from the customer. The bearing can be returned to the customer or scrapped upon request at any time. If returned to the customer, freight will be prepaid only for jobs completed.

Outbound Inspection

Once work is complete, each critical dimension is measured and recorded in an outbound inspection report. This outbound inspection report is provided to the customer. BSC provides true start-to-finish inspection reports because we believe that every customer is entitled to comprehensive service and project documentation to ensure excellence in every order.
