Many customers have increased output and profitability by utilising our retro-engineering services. Production downtime is an expensive burden for any manufacturer to bear and should be avoided at all times. If you have a mechanical application that causes production interruptions through consistent breakdown , retro engineering may well provide the necessary solution. One of Australia's largest motor vehicle manufacturers has saved in excess of A$1M per year in lost production output through downtime with a motion system re-design as displayed. Multiple annual breakdowns have been reduced to one changeover every 3 years as a result of retro-design and engineering by Action Bearings.

Where applications are safety critical or push the boundaries of mechanical limits we can provide computer generated FEA services to give a better understanding of sub structural activity and possible defective outcomes. Motion systems in rely upon predictable mechanical efficiency to achieve calculated life parameters . FEA can provide the background knowledge and understanding of mechanical stresses that might cause premature operational failures and influence the initial selection of product type to suit applications which may be pushing fundamental limits.

Consistent or sudden application failures are costly events which need to be avoided wherever possible. At Action Bearings we believe that investigation of early failures can eliminate recurring problems and related costs. In most cases where failures are not of a catastrophic nature it is possible to examine and report on probable cause of early fatigue life failures. We urge our customer base to save any components changed out on the basis of any signs of impending failure due noise, temperature, or increased current draw indicators.
Expert examination of the suspect product might highlight problems specific to the application that will continue to recur if not analysed . Action Bearings offers this reporting service free of charge on all products supplied to its customer base and urges constant awareness of early failure symptoms.

Action Bearings spends a good deal of time and effort on developing the basic bearing knowledge of all staff members . Understanding the specific strengths and weaknesses of our broad product portfolio enables correct placement of bearing types into all applications .
In conjunction with the manufacturers we represent in Australia we can also provide on-site or external training programs on product suitability , fitment and handling for our customer base. Most companies today are extremely interested in any training options available to improve the effectiveness of their workforce. If you would like to participate in this type of activity we will be very pleased to discuss the options available for your company.
