Custom Sheaves
The Bear Equipment Custom Sheave Process:
1. Engineering
Our expert engineering staff quickly understands your needs, provides insights, and translates expectations into production drawings. WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR ENGINEERING! Sheave engineering is what we are good at and what we enjoy doing. If you have an overview of the application with basic information, the Bear Equipment team is ready to assist.
2. Machining
Our state-of-the-art machine and fabrication shop, with experienced machinists and CNC equipment, machines raw materials to precise dimensions. We can machine sheaves from alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nylon, or any other specialty material your application requires.
3. Post-Machining
We offer numerous post-machining processes to ensure the sheave performs optimally in its application. From in-house flame hardening to various coating options such as powder coat or plating, Bear can produce the right sheave for the job.
4. Bore Options
We provide various bore options tailored to your requirements: Plain bore, oilite bushings, in-house machined grooved bushings, keyed bore, and any bearing available. Bear Equipment can provide the appropriate bore option for the application.
5. Quality Control
Quality control is integrated into every step of the Bear Equipment process, from approval drawings to inspecting post-machining processes and ensuring proper installation and functionality of bore options. When you get a Bear Equipment sheave, you know that it’s a quality sheave held to the tightest standards.
