Rings, balls, cages and test results held against each finished designation.
Manage bearing designations, steel stock, ring turning, hardening, grinding, matching, assembly, noise testing, marking and packing in one system. Each bearing lot carries the ring lots, ball lots, cage and seal batches and grease it was built from, with its clearance class and test result. The sales desk, grinding shop, assembly line, test bay and packing section read the same record.
- Designations, clearance classes and routings entered as you make them
- Open orders, component stock and customer brands migrated
- Changes to tests, box layouts and marking rules made by GullySystem staff on request
Bearing plants keep designation masters, steel stock, ring and grinding lots, component issue, matching, noise tests and packing on one record, fitted to their designations by the GullySystem team. Each bearing lot links its ring, ball, cage and seal batches to its clearance class and test result, so a failed bearing leads back to its parts.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and order
A designation, clearance class, seal type and brand arrive with the quantity. The order sets the bill of parts for ring, ball, cage, seal and grease.
- 2
Ring turning and hardening
Steel tube and bar are cut and turned to ring blanks. Lots are hardened and tempered, and hardness is recorded.
- 3
Grinding and finishing
Rings are ground and superfinished with gauge readings at set intervals. Rejects and size groups are logged.
- 4
Matching and assembly
Inner ring, outer ring, balls and cage are matched to the clearance class. Seals are fitted and grease is added.
- 5
Testing
Each lot passes the noise, rotation and clearance checks. Failures are held and the lots inside them are shown.
- 6
Marking, packing and dispatch
Bearings are marked, oiled for storage and put in the box that matches their designation. Paperwork leaves with the load.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Bill of Materials
Each designation lists its rings, balls or rollers, cage, seals and grease, so an order converts into the parts assembly needs.
- Work Order Management
A ring lot moves through turning, hardening and tempering as a work order, with counts, hardness and rejects at each step.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Balls, cages and seals are held by supplier lot and issued to assembly, so a failed bearing opens the batches that went into it.
- Quality Control
Rig readings and clearance checks are saved per bearing or sample, and a lot that fails is held before packing.
- Production Planning
Assembly is planned against ring and component availability, so lines are not stopped waiting for a ball grade.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Reorder levels on balls, rollers, cages and seals warn the stores before assembly runs short.
- Purchase Order Management
Purchase orders for balls, cages and seals are raised against reorder levels and received by supplier lot.
- Barcodes and Labels
Box and bearing labels carry designation, class, lot and brand, and a scan at packing checks them against the order.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See orders by designation, grinding yield, test failures and component cost per bearing.
For sales and planning staff
Quote a designation, check bearings in stock and promise a date from ring and component availability.
For grinding operators
Record gauge readings, wheel changes and size groups, and see when drift is approaching a limit.
For assembly and test staff
Match parts to the order, log the lots used and capture noise and clearance results.
For packing staff
Pack by designation, print the box label and check the clearance class against the order.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Bearings in stock by designation and clearance class
- Grinding yield and rejects by machine
- Test failures by lot and component batch
- Component stock for balls, cages and seals
- Orders open and late, by customer
- Rework and scrap by cause
- Bearings sold by brand and market
Who this is built for.
- Makers of deep groove ball bearings for motors and appliances
- Producers of tapered and cylindrical roller bearings for machinery
- Plants that grind rings and assemble in the same building
- Assemblers who buy rings and balls and build to designation
- Companies selling bearings under their own brand and customers’ brands
When it is not the right choice.
- A trader who only buys and resells finished bearings has no rings to grind and needs a parts-counter system instead.
- Shops that turn bushes and sleeves but make no bearings will find CNC Turning Shop Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
How does it support matching?
Ring size groups, ball grades and the clearance class on the order are shown to the assembler. The parts used are saved with the lot.
Can we trace a failure to ball and ring lots?
Yes. A failed lot opens a list of the ring lots, ball lots, cage and seal batches and grease used in it.
How is grinding drift shown?
Gauge readings are plotted per grinder. A trend toward the limit raises a flag before rings are out of tolerance.
Can we run private label brands?
Yes. A customer’s brand sets the marking, box label and packing note on the order, without a separate designation.
Does it manage purchased balls and cages?
Yes. They are received by supplier lot and issued to assembly against the order, with reorder levels.
Can it print clearance class on the box?
Yes. The label layout can carry designation, class, lot and brand, as agreed with you.
What happens to rings that fail?
They are logged with a reason and either reground, held for another designation or scrapped. The counts feed the yield report.
Can the noise rig upload to it?
Where the rig writes a result file, it can be loaded. Otherwise results are typed in by the test operator.
What does it cost?
It depends on users and the stations recorded. We show it with your own designation list first and follow with a written proposal.
Do we keep our own records?
Yes. Lot, component and test records export to spreadsheets. The file layouts are named in the proposal.
