Machining.

Your Premier Source For USA Manufactured Bearings.

Machining

In addition to our custom fabrication services, BSC will also use CNC machinery to manufacture new components as necessary. These machined components can include parts, such as rollers and rings. Machining is often necessary to repair bearings and return them back to their manufacturer’s specification.

Raw Materials for Machining Services

BSC works with our customers to determine the best possible materials for each machining project. These materials can include aluminum, steel, steel alloys, copper, brass, and even certain plastics! BSC receives these raw materials as forged rings, tubing, bar stock, or centrifugally cast rings. We maintain reliable relationships with material suppliers stateside, providing on-time delivery.

Fully Equipped CNC Machining Facility

BSC is equipped with modern CNC lathes and milling machines that soft machine components to a machine size, which allows for additional stock for distortion during the heat treat process. These CNC machines are regularly inspected to ensure that they are properly functioning and able to meet our customers’ standards for high-precision machining services.

High-Volume CNC Capabilities

By equipping ourselves with various pieces of CNC machining equipment, BSC is able to meet the high-volume production needs of many customers. CNC machining particularly allows our facility to produce a higher quantity of high-precision parts. If you are looking for a company that can handle your tight-tolerance requirements, you have come to the right place.

Consistency is Key for CNC Machining Services

All operations are performed according to process sheets to keep processes consistent. Finished machined parts are identified and sent to heat treat.
