Bearing Services — Beyond the Catalogue

The catalogue covers 323,474 SKUs. These five services cover what happens when the part is not in it, when it needs your name on it, or when the problem is the supply chain rather than the bearing.

5 servicesCustom to drawingPrivate labelVMI
Short answer. Custom bearings made to drawing or sample; private-label programmes with your brand on the box and the ring; kitting and vendor-managed inventory so you buy the quarter rather than the container; engineering support for selection, interchange and failure analysis; and supply-chain consolidation that turns a multi-supplier BOM into one purchase order.

How a service engagement runs

Four steps, no mystery.

Scope

You send the drawing, the model list, the failure report or the forecast. We state what we can and cannot do, in writing, within one working day.

Quote

Price, MOQ, lead time, documentation and the assumptions behind them — itemised, so a change is a line item rather than a renegotiation.

Sample or pilot

For custom and private-label work, a sample or a pilot batch is approved before the production run. This is where specification errors are caught cheaply.

Production & release

Production with the agreed inspection plan, then documents, packing list and shipment — with the inspection record travelling with the goods.

What we do not do. We are a bearing supplier with an engineering desk, not a bearing manufacturer with a sales office. Custom work is made by partner plants we qualify and audit; the certificate on the part is the plant's, and we say which plant it is.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a minimum order quantity?

No MOQ on catalogue items — mixed orders and small batches are the normal case. Custom and private-label work has a practical minimum, typically 50–500 pieces, set by the tooling and the setup time for the size.

Can you supply under our brand?

Yes. Private label covers the box, the label, the instructions and, on request, the ring marking. It is a programme rather than an order: brand approval, packaging artwork, a pilot batch and then scheduled production.

How fast can you answer a technical question?

Within 30 minutes on working days for selection, interchange and availability questions. Failure analysis with photographs and a written report takes one to three working days.

Do you work with distributors or only end users?

Both, but the services here are built for distributors: private label, VMI, kitting and BOM consolidation are all distributor problems. End users typically use engineering support and custom bearings.

What documentation comes with a custom part?

A first-article inspection report against the drawing, material certificate, and dimensional report. PPAP-style packages, capability studies and control plans are available on request for automotive and medical programmes.

Can you support prototype and pilot quantities?

Yes. A pilot batch runs on the same tooling as volume production, so what you approve is what you receive later. Pilot quantities are sized to the process — turning and grinding set the floor, assembly and marking stay flexible.

Do you sign NDAs for custom and private-label work?

Yes. Drawings, marking specifications and packaging artwork are treated as yours. An NDA is signed before the first technical exchange if you prefer, and files are never used for another customer's project.

Can you run scheduled call-off orders instead of one-off shipments?

Yes. Framework pricing with call-off releases, consignment stock and VMI programmes are all in normal use. Stock sits in our warehouse, you draw against the schedule, and the report shows what was consumed and what remains.

Which customers and industries do you serve?

Bearing distributors, industrial MRO buyers and OEM manufacturers across automotive, agriculture, mining, HVAC, food and beverage, and general machinery — the common thread is someone who needs specification-accurate bearings quoted and shipped without drama.

Which of these is your problem?

Describe the position, the quantity and the constraint — price, lead time, certification or brand — and we will tell you which service fits and what it costs.
