Rising procurement costs, long delivery times and growing sustainability requirements pose major challenges for maintenance and purchasing departments. The reconditioning or refurbishment of roller bearings offers an economically attractive solution – without compromising on quality and operational reliability.
Rolling bearings are often replaced even though they are still technically usable. During reconditioning, used or damaged rolling bearings are professionally inspected, repaired or overhauled and then restored to mint condition. The result: bearings as good as new at significantly lower costs and with a noticeably reduced carbon footprint (up to 95%) compared to new production.
Your added value:
- Lower costs: Reconditioning is cheaper than buying new bearings and reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) in the long term.
- Faster availability: Processing usually takes only a few weeks – ideal for critical spare parts.
- Proven quality: All reconditioned bearings undergo the same testing processes as new bearings.
- Greater sustainability: Extending the service life saves materials and energy – with a CO₂ reduction of up to 95%.
Reconditioning, or remanufacturing, is therefore not simply a repair, but a technical process that restores bearings to a functional and reliable state.
The result:
A fully functional roller bearing with the same requirements, standards and quality specifications as a new bearing – but with significantly lower resource consumption.
Reconditioning offers considerable savings potential, especially for large, specialised or hard-to-source roller bearings. At the same time, you improve your sustainability metrics and make a measurable contribution to the circular economy – a clear advantage for engineering, purchasing and management.
As an experienced industrial partner, BLÄSSINGER supports you from the initial assessment to the return delivery of the reconditioned bearing. Thanks to our collaboration with our strategic supply partners Schaeffler and SKF, we combine manufacturing expertise, tested processes and practical implementation to create a solution that combines economic efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The process is clearly structured, transparent and documented – comparable to an industrial quality process.
- Condition analysis and assessment: Each bearing is opened, cleaned and inspected in detail.
- Technical assessment: Damage is identified, assessed and documented.
- Refurbishment and repair: Functional surfaces are treated or replaced.
- Quality inspection: After refurbishment, the bearing undergoes inspection processes analogous to those for new bearings.
- Preservation and packaging: Stock is preserved in a ready-to-use condition and prepared for return shipment.
The reconditioning of roller bearings is useful for:
- Complex industrial plants
- Large and heavy roller bearings
- Special stock with long delivery tim
- Warehouse with high investment costs
- and wherever operating times, costs and sustainability play a key role.
