Home » Bearing Inspection » Source Qualification Inspection
Source Qualification Inspection (SQI) allows the client to qualify new suppliers through a series of independent bearing inspections. This empirically derived, unbiased SQI program is used by companies in a variety of industries to ensure design integrity, manufacturing capabilities, and workmanship quality among various suppliers. This in-depth look into bearing stress levels helps to ensure effective bearing performance.
Resultant data allows for open communication between OEMs and bearing manufacturers regarding design and manufacturing characteristics, leading to time and cost savings, via elimination of potential field replacement costs. For OEMs who model bearing performance, enhanced SQI data can provide a more in-depth bearing stress profile through access to an extensive series of available models. This data assists in the procurement of an “ideal bearing” for a given application.
The industrial bearing equivalent to the FAA-PMA reverse engineering program, SQI allows OEM’s to understand why the baseline supplier is effective and what characteristics ensure the bearing performs effectively in a particular application. SQI can provide OEM’s with valuable technical information allowing for open communication with bearing manufacturers about design and manufacturing characteristics. With the amount of offshore bearings used in today’s applications, it is vital that OEM’s ensure they obtain repeat success in their application by reducing the risk of bearing failure. Providing detailed design characteristics, obtained through the SQI process, to the bearing manufacturer, can save OEMs time and money by eliminating potential field replacement costs.
For OEM’s who model bearing performance, Enhanced SQI Data can provide a more in-depth overview of the bearing’s stress profile. The benefits of SQI are not limited to OEM’s. Many bearing manufacturers and distributors have found our Source Qualification Inspection very helpful in gaining information about bearings they are offering through their own global supply chain. Whatever area of the bearing industry you occupy, SQI can provide value and insight needed to achieve success in your operation.
Our standard SQI test program includes:
A custom inspection plan can be developed to meet your individual inspection needs.
