PI Bearing Technologies (formerly PEER, Inc.), a worldwide manufacturer of self-lubricated bearings, bearing blocks, and aluminum alloy bushings, recently launched a website from ThomasNet as part of a strategic re-introduction. The company saw an opportunity to reinforce its innovation and cutting-edge lead-free and PFOA-free technologies through the new site, which would also help to increase sales.
PI Bearing Technologies' products help OEM companies enhance the performance of machines and devices requiring low-friction, high-load motion, such as fluid power pumps and motors, compressors, linkages, and many others. Primary markets for the company include off-highway, construction, automotive, HVAC, industrial, medical, fitness, and others.
The firm tapped ThomasNet because of its Navigator Platform, which leverages new Internet technology and tools to improve industrial companies' sales revenues. ThomasNet's Web Solution now serves as an extension of PI Bearing Technologies' sales force-engaging prospects by demonstrating the company's broad range of leading-edge products, anticipating and answering their questions, and guiding them toward a purchasing decision. Through the new website, prospects can:
o Browse through PI Bearing Technologies' catalog of more than 1,000 items, searching by products such as FS Self-Lubricated Bearings, FR Self-Lubricated Bearings, A66T Machinable Aluminum Alloy Bushings, FS-55 Self-Lubricated Machinable Polymer Bearings, or high precision machined thrust blocks and wear plates. They can also search by specific part numbers.
o Drill deeper into sub-categories. For instance, FS Self-Lubricated Bearings include metric and inch sleeve bushings, flanged bearings, and thrust washers.
o Evaluate products according to multiple attributes such as housing and shaft diameters and bushing lengths.
o Access product diagrams (with detailed dimensions) and images.
o Compare up to five items at a time on one screen.
