  • TBE is an open system that reduces customers replacement costs significantly, typically 40-50%. When a bearing fails, TBE provides an Interchange Report that identifies bearings in stock or alternative choices available from suppliers for replacement.

  • TBE's open nature allows customers operational and cost choices that save time and money by quickly identifying alternative options allowing for better buying or using in-house replacement.

  • TBE is a complete system including Intuitive Search, Vibration Frequencies, Interchange, Contact Angle Reporting, Prefix/Suffix, Diagrams, links to manufacturers plus productivity modules and multiple data sets.

Search:

The simplicity of The Bearing ExpertTM is driven from the main Search screen. Whether you are searching by part number or dimensions, the menu driven system walks you through your search effortlessly. Our new Quick Search feature enables you to input the part number and immediately access the data you seek via multiple reports.

The Bearing Expert Search Screen

Now with 1,000,000 bearings/seals in the interchange and over 200,000 vibration frequencies, International Source Index, Inc. is the world's leading provider of bearing and oil seal interchange data as well as bearing vibration frequency data. The Bearing Expert’s Quick Search allows for multiple bearings and data points from a single search. Reports are generated automatically (calculations and formulas already computed). The Bearing Expert is by far the most extensive source of bearing data available. Combined with an "intelligent" search engine, International Source Index puts the "right" information at your fingertips immediately. The Bearing Expert works the way you think!!!

The Bearing Expert Overview

The Bearing ExpertTM is a modular PC based interchange and vibration frequency database. This unique PC driven software tool compliments in-house maintenance, engineering, and vibration analysis tasks by providing immediate access to bearing, oil seal, and vibration data for all current and past manufacturers of these products. This product is the result of years of research and experience by engineering and MRO professionals like you. The tool is designed from the user perspective and is quick, easy to use, and brings significant immediate cost savings to the plant environment.

 

Interchange Process

Users typically have incomplete bearing information. By entering information about a part including: part number, bearing dimensions, or manufacturer and type of bearing, The Bearing ExpertTM will then produce the most complete interchange or cross reference report for that part. The report includes current and past manufacturers worldwide that make or have made that part along with the respective manufacturers part numbers and special comments related to the interchange. AFBMA part numbers are also included in the interchange. The report may be viewed on the screen or printed out for inclusion in a work order, quote request or other similar needs.

 

Why is the Interchange Report important?

Vibration readings are key in identifying those bearings that are at risk for failure. However, once you plan for the actual replacement to be made, it is imperative to have the part in stock. The Bearing Expert Interchange Report is key in letting the user know:

  • Does he have the part in stock under a different manufacturer's part number?

    -or

  • If he needs to order it, can he get the best price based upon the various manufacturers that can supply an interchangeable product?

The Bearing ExpertTM provides an automatic Multiple Manufacturer Vibration Frequency Report. It is the only product that can produce multiple frequencies with one request and is the largest vibration frequency database available worldwide. The Multiple Manufacturer Vibration Report is generated from the same initial request for interchange data and requires no additional steps. The frequencies are calculated at the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) or CPS (Cycles per Second) value the user specifies.

 

Vibration Process

The Bearing ExpertTM provides an automatic Multiple Manufacturer  Vibration Frequency Report. It is the only product that can produce multiple frequencies with one request and is the largest vibration frequency database available worldwide. The Multiple Manufacturer Vibration Report is generated from the same initial request for interchange data and requires no additional steps. The frequencies are calculated at the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) or CPS (Cycles per Second) value the user specifies. In conjunction with the Multiple Manufacturer Vibration Report, The Bearing Expert also features the  Harmonics Report. The user may select the number of times they would like to have the frequencies calculated for each report. The default is for 10x's Harmonics.

The Bearing ExpertTM is the source for Vibration Frequencies. It has the support of leading Condition Monitoring Software Providers, Consultants, and Bearing Manufacturers alike . The database is  updated on an annual basis.

 

Ease of Use

The Bearing Expert Database requires no training. Easy to use Menu features walk you through the search options and report options. The intuitive search engine enables you to select part numbers based upon your current knowledge of the bearing in question. You input the data you have available to you. The Bearing Expert will help you narrow your selections. No research is necessary to locate the data for your part number. The  Search options provide you with data points for multiple manufacturers allowing you to compare and analyze the data presented to best suit your requirements. The new Prefix and Suffix Descriptions are displayed to further assist you in breaking down the part number in question to meaningful data searches. Just a few simple keystrokes will complete your search.

 

Justification:

The Bearing ExpertTM can address many of the common MRO issues including:

  • Reduce Unplanned Downtime/Optimize Design Cost

Identify failed bearing by part number, dimension (mm/inches), or manufacturer and type to eliminate time to research what you need. Interchange reports match up substitutes you may have in stock avoiding unnecessary downtime, unneeded purchase expenses and eliminates delivery time. Information is available 24/7. No need to call suppliers.

  • Reduce Duplicate Inventory

Match like bearings and dimensions regardless of part numbers with interchange report. Eliminate duplication within the storeroom by grouping interchangeable parts and reducing unnecessary ordering.

  • Eliminates Waiting on Manufacturer for Frequency Data

Vibration Frequency data is provided instantly without need to call or wait for manufacturer to research the data and call you back. Using our unique Multiple Manufacturer Vibration Report, users see vibration data for multiple manufactures of a like part number. Customers often use this report to work backwards in identifying a part number and frequency that can work in their calculation.

  • Reduce Design Time/Optimize Design Costs

Engineers have all possible alternatives in a few seconds and can select best fit based on materials needed, durability and cost.
