Manufacturing engine bushings

When is it necessary to manufacture bearings?

Manufacturing bearings is particularly useful when:

• the bearing in the required dimension is no longer produced or has been removed from the catalog offer,
• the engine or machine is an atypical, vintage, or custom-built design (so-called SAM),
• the engine block has been re-bored, requiring a bearing thicker than the standard catalog one,
• it concerns engines of older or rare models of machines, tractors, cars, or industrial devices for which factory parts have long been unavailable.

In such cases, the only sensible solution is to manufacture half-bearings to order, precisely tailored to the parameters of the specific engine.

What does the process of manufacturing half-bearings at BIMEX look like?

The production of custom bearings begins with determining the details with the client. To prepare bearings perfectly suited to a given engine, precise technical data is needed – dimensions, the material they should be made of, and the specifics of the application.

Thanks to this individual approach, it is possible to produce bearings:

• in atypical dimensions, exceeding the standard catalog offer,
• with increased thickness – e.g., for blocks after re-boring,
• for engines for which original parts have long been out of production.

Who is this service for?

Manufacturing engine half-bearings at BIMEX is a solution aimed at:

• automotive workshops and engine service centers,
• owners of agricultural tractors and construction machinery,
• people restoring vintage vehicles and engines,
• designers of custom-built machines (SAM),
• services dealing with industrial and stationary engines.

Why is it worth ordering bearing manufacturing at BIMEX?

• Years of experience – BIMEX has been engaged in the sale and manufacturing of bearings, sliding bushes, and bearings for years.
• Individual approach – each order is executed based on precise data provided by the client.
• Extensive technical knowledge – as the official distributor of Federal-Mogul Bimet products in Poland, BIMEX knows the specifics of sliding bearings very well.
• Large warehouse facilities – where a catalog part is sufficient, clients can take advantage of a rich offer of ready-made bearings available immediately.

Summary

If you cannot find the required bearing in the standard market offer, manufacturing engine half-bearings at BIMEX is a proven solution – regardless of whether it concerns an old machine, an atypical engine, or a re-bored block.
