OUR SPECIALTY
Custom bearings are readily and inexpensively made from plastics. This allows engineers complete freedom to design the bearing around the device rather than attempting to design the device around a limited range of standard bearings. Consider the unconventional by calling KMS Bearings, Inc. We'll work with you to select the right design, size, and material to best suit the application. For further information click on one of the following headings.

CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER
Any of KMS' plastic bearings can be easily modified to better suit the application. For example, a standard size plastic bearing can be made from alternative plastics for increased strength, temperature capability or chemical resistance.

CUSTOM SIZE
Bearings made from plastics have added manufacturing flexibility to be easily modified in dimension. Our manufacturing processes allow us to either modify a mold tool or use our machining capability to alter a bore size or an outside diameter. If the required size can not be produced by modifying a standard size, our CNC turning centers give us the ability to manufacture the bearing completely from scratch without tooling charges in all quantities.

SPECIAL BEARINGS IN LOW QUANTITIES
Unlike traditional bearing manufacturers we can offer special size and materials in low quantities. This manufacturing flexibility is achieved through the unique blending of machining, molding and CAD technologies.

PROTOTYPE & SAMPLES
KMS wants you to feel confident before you commit to your production needs. We can supply test samples from our stock when available, or complete hand made specials for a nominal lot charge. Your confidence is our priority. To request prototypes or samples fill out Application Review and submit.

PRODUCT INTEGRATION
Many times a bearing is mounted into another part, such as plastic pulley, sprocket, wheel or a mounted block. Utilizing the design concept of a plastic ball bearing, KMS Bearings, Inc. can integrate the mating component as the raceway of the bearing, i.e.: pulley as the outer ring, or the shaft as the inner ring. The end result is fewer parts, reduced assembly time and overall lower cost. To follow are a few examples of actual integrated plastic race ball bearings. They were all manufactured to suit a specific application solving a particular design problem. Call 1-800-448-2412 or e-mail an Application Review to KMS sales engineering to see how we can solve or improve your bearing application.
