Comprehensive bearing testing for various industry applications
NAPOLEON ENGINEERING SERVICES offers a variety of testing programs designed to recreate the application and environment in which the bearing will function. Housing more than 100 unique testing platforms, NES is your source for comprehensive bearing testing. NES’s ability to design a test rig and program it to fit a large number of applications makes bearing testing an ideal fit for many industries.
DYNAMIC TESTING is performed to confirm the effectiveness of materials, product design, and manufacturing process, NES’s program is run at accelerated conditions to meet a client’s time and budgetary constraints. By maintaining a fatigue failure mode consistent with that found in the application, NES is able to increase a client’s knowledge about the design and manufacturing capability of the product, resulting in reduced risk of utilizing a new or alternate product. Dynamic testing provides clients with detailed reports that supply the information needed to make informed decisions.
EVALUATION AND TESTING is an important aspect of ensuring a bearing performs to expectations. It is because of this importance that NES has developed specialty capabilities in many of our standard inspection programs which are vital to the quality of our inspection service offerings.
Typical material evaluations include:
• Material Chemistry • Microstructure
• Hardness
• SEM/EDS Analysis • X-Ray Diffraction • Magnetic Particle Inspection • Surface Temper Inspection
FAILURE ANALYSIS offers clients insight into why a bearing failed in an application. Through an extensive failure analysis inspection NES can determine if the problem is system related or specific to the bearing. • Microscopic capability • Sophisticated dimensional inspection equipment • Accurately determine the condition of the product and its wear characteristics
• Provide detailed reports and wholeproject tracking • Analysis is beneficial to alleviate failure re-occurrence
