At SMR, quality is not a department — it is a culture. Every housing we manufacture undergoes stringent tolerance checks before leaving our facility.
We at SMR have always placed quality first. We ensure that our bearing housings are manufactured and designed to meet and exceed our customer requirements. Each housing is individually inspected in our in-house testing facilities and made to undergo stringent tolerance checks before approval.
Our Quality Assurance includes planned and systematic production processes. Rigorous regulation of the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products and components — services related to production and inspection processes ensures the highest quality product.
Our directives, processes, systems and goals are based on requirements from international standards, customer expectations, our knowledge and experience. Knowledge of and compliance with these directives and processes is the foundation of our quality.
Every stage of our manufacturing process is governed by these core quality principles.
Today's competitive environment leaves no room for error. We must delight our customers and relentlessly look for new ways to exceed their expectations. This is the reason that at SMR, quality is a culture.
We have adopted the ISO 9001:2000 standard for our manufacturing process and have additionally implemented the most advanced Six Sigma model — a highly disciplined process that helps us focus on developing and delivering near-perfect products and services.
Awareness of quality issues throughout our organization ensures that product quality will be taken into account at every stage of the production process by every individual involved.
From the foundry floor to the final dispatch, every team member at SMR is trained to uphold the quality standards that our customers depend on — making quality a shared responsibility, not just a final checkpoint.
Stress testing our products involves the operation of a product until it fails, often under stresses such as increasing vibration, load, temperature, etc. This helps us understand the practical limits of our current products.
The data gathered is used to drive our future engineering and manufacturing process improvements, which we incorporate in the shape of our newer, more robust products.
Our in-house CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) facility maps every bore dimension to H7/G7 tolerance standards. Each housing is dimensionally verified before dispatch — no exceptions.
Raw material quality is verified through spectrometric analysis, ensuring every casting meets the metallurgical grade specified for the application — whether grey iron, S.G. iron or cast steel.
SMR is an ISO 9001:2015 registered company. Our certification covers design, manufacturing, inspection and dispatch of all bearing housing products.
