Cleaning and Ball Bearing Relubrication Facilities

Our contemporary ball bearing relubrication facilities were designed specifically for bearing cleaning and relubrication of commercial and precision ball bearings. Our ball bearing relubrication and bearing cleaning facility houses three separate units:

• GRAY ROOM:Employed for bearing cleaning, as well as bearing relubrication.

• WASH ROOM:Houses all of the generic and proprietary equipment used to clean bearings in preparation for relubrication.

• CLEAN ROOM:A class 10,000 clean room with class 100 laminar flow work stations, both of which are Certified to Federal Standard 209E. This facility is utilized for the relubrication, testing and final inspection of precision ball bearings. This facility is utilized for the relubrication, testing and final inspection of precision ball bearings.

Our facilities process millions of ball bearings annually and routinely relubricate bearings with standard or exotic lubricants to exacting specifications. The Quality Assurance Program utilized in this facility conforms to MIL-STD-45208 A "Inspection System Requirements." The gauge calibration system conforms to MIL-STD-45662 A. Sampling Plans the conform to MIL-STD 105 D are available.
