Are you struggling with bearing-related costs? Wondering if custom solutions can actually save you money? Hear how we have helped client with cost-effective solutions.
Customized bearing solutions[^1] can significantly reduce costs by extending lifespan, improving performance, and minimizing downtime. Here are 5 success stories of how we helped clients achieve substantial savings.
Let’s explore how MoldAll helped clients reduce costs significantly by providing customized bearing solutions. I’m excited to share these success stories. It goes to show how tailored approaches can transform operations and save you money.
Success Story 1: Automotive Manufacturer – Extended Bearing Life
A major automotive manufacturer was experiencing premature bearing failure in its robotic assembly line, leading to frequent downtime and costly replacements.
We developed a customized bearing solution using a specialized lubricant and a modified internal geometry. The result was a 40% increase in bearing lifespan[^2], reducing downtime and replacement costs.
Benefit: Noticeably longer bearing lifespan[^2]
Impact: Reduced downtime and replacement expenses
Outcome: Improved production efficiency
Less downtime lets you focus on your job.
This automotive manufacturer had a recurring problem with bearing failures[^3] in their high-speed robotic arms[^4]. After assessing their application, we identified that the standard off-the-shelf bearings were not able to withstand the repetitive motion and high loads. We formulated a synthetic lubricant[^5] that would reduce wear and then we changed the internal geometry. We were able to extend the life of the existing bearings, and save them money in the process.
Success Story 2: Agricultural Equipment Company – Improved Load Capacity
An agricultural equipment company faced bearing failures[^3] in its heavy-duty tractors, especially during peak harvesting seasons. These failures led to equipment downtime and costly repairs.
We engineered a customized bearing solution with increased load capacity[^6], using a higher-grade steel alloy and reinforced cage design. This reduced failures by half, minimizing downtime during critical periods.
Benefit: Substantially fewer bearing failures[^3]
Impact: Reduced downtime and repair needs
Outcome: Smoother operations during peak seasons
Heavy duty work requires heavy duty parts.
The agricultural equipment company was dealing with equipment downtime. We discovered that the bearings were being overworked. We then identified and solved that problem by using a more robust steel alloy and reinforcing the cage design. During peak seasons, we were able to reduce failure rates for the company and save them money.
Success Story 3: CNC Machine Shop – Enhanced Precision
A CNC machine shop[^7] struggled with inconsistent machining quality due to bearing wear in its spindle units. The worn bearings caused vibrations, affecting the precision of their finished parts.
We provided a custom-engineered bearing with tighter tolerances and a vibration-dampening cage[^8], resulting in improved machining precision and reduced scrap rates.
Benefit: Greater machining precision
Impact: Lower scrap rates and higher quality output
Outcome: Increased profitabili
Work better, not harder.
In this case, the CNC machine shop[^7] needed better precision and reduced scrap rates for their machine designs. When the spindle bearings wore down they began to vibrate, affecting the quality of the finished parts. This was resulting in an increased scrap rate and reducing the machine shops productivity. We worked alongside the company and implemented tighter tolerances, which resulted in better precision and lowered scrap rates.
Success Story 4: Food Processing Plant – Reduced Contamination
A food processing plant faced bearing failures[^3] due to frequent washdowns and exposure to corrosive cleaning agents, leading to contamination risks and maintenance costs.
We developed a corrosion-resistant bearing[^9] with food-grade lubricant[^10] and a sealed design. The solution eliminated contamination risks and doubled the bearing lifespan[^2].
Benefit: Eliminated contamination risks
Impact: Increased bearing lifespan[^2]
Outcome: Lower maintenance costs and safer operations
Keep your food safe, one bearing at a time.
The Food Processing plant was another client that was experiencing difficulties, but different from the other issues so far. They had corrosive cleaning and washdown procedures that deteriorated their bearings. This led to contamination of the materials, which they wanted to veer away from. The solution to this issue was that we came up with corrosion-resistant bearing[^9]s fit with food-grade lubricant[^10]. By developing this solution we were able to double the current bearing lifespan[^2].
Success Story 5: Medical Device Manufacturer – Minimized Friction
A medical device manufacturer experienced friction and heat build-up in miniature bearings[^11] used in surgical instruments, impacting the instruments’ precision and reliability.
We provided a customized bearing with a ceramic ball design and low-friction coating, reducing heat generation and improving the instruments’ precision.
Benefit: Reduced friction and heat
Impact: Enhanced precision and reliability of instruments
Outcome: Fewer instrument failures
Precision parts are critical.
A medical device manufacturer needed to reduce the friction and heat that came from inside their surgical equipment so that they could raise the equipment’s accuracy and dependableness. Miniature bearings were applied to the bearing to fix this problem. In the end, it enhanced the precision and dependability of the machines. The client was extremely happy with the result because it gave the doctors a better tool.
