Big bearings require expertise

Big Bearings require expertise

With more than 70 years of combined technical experience from a technical team with prior experience from European manufacturers is what it took to make the project a success.

These are the kind of projects that identify the capability of BMI. Operating from India in the sector of high technological bearings with value add for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance and Repair) requests.

With an outer diameter of 1 meter and weighing 300 Kgs this big bearing will be play an essential role in proper operation of complex machinery. The design and production of the same, call for quality oriented discussions by the manufactures to avoid unexpected faults or machine downtime.

BMI, the Indian bearing manufacturer, has always been a specialist in all four types of bearings (Spherical, Cylindrical, Taper and Thrust) with outside diameter upto 1.2 meters.

Material selection is externally important for bearing end quality. The conformity to composition, purity, hardness is significantly more complex for bars with diameter more than 150mm and ingots as well. Hence the procurement team ensure strict compliance standard with full traceability.

Based on the long historical experience for large size bearings BMI team had implemented a number of controls at each stage to ensure non confirming material is not passed to next stage.

For instance ultrasonic inspection of internal material structure in performed both after forging and heat treatment while MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection) is performed after finish grinding.
