Description

Advantages of Custom Bearings

Customized bearings offer numerous advantages, primarily by being precisely engineered to meet specific operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance in unique applications. They allow for tailored material selection, such as high-strength alloys or corrosion-resistant coatings, to withstand harsh environments, extreme temperatures, or heavy loads, significantly enhancing durability and service life. Custom designs can also integrate special features like non-standard geometries, enhanced sealing mechanisms, or precision tolerances that off-the-shelf bearings cannot provide, improving system efficiency and reducing energy consumption. By aligning perfectly with the client’s mechanical specifications, customized bearings minimize downtime through reduced wear and tear, lower maintenance costs, and better compatibility with existing equipment. This level of personalization not only addresses specific engineering challenges but also delivers long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness, making them an ideal solution for industries requiring high-precision, specialized motion control, from aerospace and robotics to renewable energy and heavy machinery.

Customization according to drawings

1.Drawing Receipt and Review
Receipt of Drawings: Clients transmit detailed bearing design drawings to the company via email, postal mail, or other methods. Seasoned engineers will conduct a review of the drawings to examine their clarity and completeness. This involves confirming that dimensional annotations are explicit, tolerance ranges are reasonable, and technical specifications are clearly discernible. In the event of any uncertainties, timely communication will be initiated with clients to obtain accurate information.
2.Material Preparation, Mold Making, and Processing:

In accordance with the technical requirements specified in the drawings, the company will select qualified suppliers to procure raw materials based on the specifications outlined in the evaluation report. We will rigorously verify quality certifications, conduct batch sampling to ensure compliance with chemical composition standards, and test mechanical properties using hardness and tensile testing machines before the materials are warehoused. For samples requiring molds, the design team will develop plans considering the shape, dimensions, and processing technology, while also taking into account factors such as strength, precision, wear resistance, and ease of demolding. These plans will be finalized through multi-departmental reviews before part processing commences. All processes adhere to customer standards regarding dimensions, material properties, and load-bearing capacity, ensuring dimensional accuracy, structural strength, and assembly suitability with compliant shape and surface roughness.

3. 1:1 Scale Reproduction Of The Drawing

After completing part processing, strict quality inspections are carried out to ensure that each part’s dimensional accuracy, shape precision, surface roughness, and material properties are identical to the sample. Qualified parts passing inspection are pre-assembled to check the fit precision and assembly effect between components. Through fine-tuning of part processing dimensions or optimization of the assembly process, the pre-assembled product achieves 1:1 replication of the drawing in terms of appearance, structure, and performance.

4.Finished Product Inspection
We will send the samples produced according to the drawings to the client for testing. The samples will be carefully packaged as per the client’s specified packaging method, accompanied by a detailed product manual and inspection report that outlines all performance indicators and test results. The company will assign a dedicated person to maintain close communication with the client, promptly address any questions arising during the inspection process, and analyze and resolve issues based on client feedback.
5.Enter production

If the customer is satisfied with the sample inspection results, the company will formulate a detailed production plan based on the order quantity and rationally allocate production equipment and personnel. During production, we strictly adhere to the same process standards and quality control procedures as those used for sample processing, inspecting each batch of raw materials and monitoring the quality of key processes in real time. According to the production schedule and order delivery timeline, we will reasonably adjust the production pace to ensure that order production tasks are completed on time and in the required quantity.

Customization according to samples

1.Customer Sample Submission:

Customers shall send the bearing samples to be processed to FODA BEARING. Upon receipt of the samples, dedicated personnel will be responsible for receipt registration, recording key information such as the receipt date, sender details, sample name, and quantity. We ensure that the samples remain undamaged during transportation. In case of any abnormalities, we will promptly communicate with the customer.

2.Sample Evaluation:

FODA BEARING will promptly assemble an experienced engineering and technical team to conduct a comprehensive and meticulous evaluation of the samples. High-precision measuring instruments will be used to accurately measure all dimensions of the samples, including inner diameter, outer diameter, width, raceway diameter, etc., with errors controlled within a minimal range. Meanwhile, equipment such as metallographic analyzers and hardness testers will be employed to analyze the material composition, hardness, and structural characteristics of the samples. The team will conduct in-depth research on the structural design of the samples to assess their rationality and machinability. For complex samples or those with special requirements, technical personnel will further communicate with customers to clarify technical details and quality standards, and prepare detailed evaluation reports to provide a basis for formulating subsequent processing techniques.

3.Material Preparation, Mold Making, and Processing:
After sample evaluation, the company selects qualified suppliers to procure raw materials per the evaluation report’s specifications, strictly verifying quality certifications, conducting batch sampling for chemical composition compliance, and testing mechanical properties with hardness and tensile machines before warehousing. For samples requiring molds, the design team develops plans based on shape, dimensions, and processing technology—considering strength, precision, wear resistance, and demolding ease—which are finalized via multi-department review before part processing begins. All processes adhere to customer standards for dimensions, material properties, and load-bearing capacity, ensuring dimensional accuracy, structural strength, and assembly suitability with compliant shape and surface roughness.
4. 1:1 Sample Replication:
After completing part processing, strict quality inspections are carried out to ensure that each part’s dimensional accuracy, shape precision, surface roughness, and material properties are identical to the sample. Qualified parts passing inspection are pre-assembled to check the fit precision and assembly effect between components. Through fine-tuning of part processing dimensions or optimization of the assembly process, the pre-assembled product achieves 1:1 replication of the sample in terms of appearance, structure, and performance.
5.Sample Production and Submission for Customer Quality Inspection:
Send the 1:1 produced samples to the client.We carefully package the samples according to the customer’s specified packaging method, enclosing detailed product manuals and inspection reports that outline all performance indicators and test results.  The company will assign dedicated personnel to maintain close communication with the customer, promptly addressing any questions raised during the inspection and analyzing and resolving issues based on the customer’s feedback.
6.Enter production
If the customer is satisfied with the sample inspection results, the company will formulate a detailed production plan based on the order quantity and rationally allocate production equipment and personnel. During production, we strictly adhere to the same process standards and quality control procedures as those used for sample processing, inspecting each batch of raw materials and monitoring the quality of key processes in real time. According to the production schedule and order delivery timeline, we will reasonably adjust the production pace to ensure that order production tasks are completed on time and in the required quantity.
