Wear, rust, lubrication issues, indentations, beats, microcracks… 
Certain application conditions – like contamination or sporadic metal–to-metal contact in the contact zone – can cause all sorts of damage to your housings.

As a result, the service life of a housing is often shorter than the calculated rating life.

The alternative is to apply a controlled remanufacturing process before any major damage or housings failure occurs. This can substantially prolong the service life of the application in question, reducing costs and lead times. And since it requires less energy than manufacturing a new housing, it is better for the environment as well.
