Why do leading airlines, engine overhaulers, and global military facilities readily use Bii reconditioned bearings rather than buying new? The answer is simple. Bii provides the highest quality reconditioned bearings, saving thousands of dollars in maintenance costs per overhaul.
Bearing reconditioning is the cost effective alternative to buying new OEM bearings, which are expensive and sometimes hard to procure. Bii's Certified Reconditioning™ process offers the highest quality in Level 2 bearing reconditioning - a reliable, affordable solution for extending the life of your in-service OEM bearings. Our Certified Reconditioning™ process returns your bearings to a like-new operational condition, ensuring the highest standards in quality, safety, and performance.
Bii reconditioned bearings offer up to an 80 percent savings compared to the cost of purchasing new bearings. Therefore, savings can be as high as $80,000 per engine visit, without a sacrifice in the quality or service life of your bearings. One Bii customer saved $7 million in a single year by simply utilizing Bii's bearing overhaul process. Imagine how your company could benefit from such savings!
The Certified Reconditioning™ process includes:
Raceway Honing- This is the heart of Bii's unique process, completely restoring the geometry and surface finish of the inner and outer raceways. There is minimal removal of raceway material (.0003") and each raceway is inspected 100% for all critical features.
Rolling Element Replacement- Each bearing receives a matched set of new balls or rollers that have been fully inspected and tested. Each rolling element is 100% visually and dimensionally inspected as a matched set prior to bearing assembly.
Complete Inspection- Each bearing undergoes extensive visual and dimensional inspection in accordance with Bii's approved procedures, and OEM acceptance criteria (where available).
Assembly and Test- Fully reconditioned bearing rings are matched with new rolling elements and 100% inspected in accordance with all applicable OEM specifications. New rolling elements meet or exceed manufacturer's requirements for material, geometry and surface finish, and are also 100% inspected prior to installation.
Final Inspection- Completed bearings undergo a "white glove" final visual inspection and are dynamically tested on Bii's proprietary BA-96 Bearing Analyzer™. This dynamic test evaluates the operational noise signals produced by both ball and roller bearings and is ideal for new, as-removed, and reconditioned bearings.
Shipment- Reconditioned bearings are cleaned, preserved, vacuum-sealed, and packaged for shipment complete with:
|
 |
|
A completed FAA 8130-3 tag (with dual-release statement for international customers). |
|
|
|
A Profile Card containing the actual measurements of each main engine bearing. |
