ERIKS appointed Certified Gearbox Rebuilder by SKF

The new certification represents an important element in ERIKS’ long term programme to develop a wide range of high value, fully accredited engineering services to support its OEM and end-user customers throughout the manufacturing sectors.   

"We've been rebuilding and refurbishing gearboxes since 1982 and have always used the most advanced quality components," explains Simon Whitehouse at ERIKS. "By receiving SKF certification, we now have independent recognition that our engineering processes, dismantling, mounting, assembly and inspection systems, plus the skills and knowledge of our production teams comply with the highest standards."

The majority of gearbox failures are caused by worn, damaged or incorrectly specified bearings and seals. As part of the Gearbox Rebuilder programme, ERIKS' gearbox engineering team at Pensnett has received extensive training from experts at SKF. They will also be routinely reassessed and have ongoing access to SKF's bearing applications and knowledge database.

This will enable ERIKS' engineers to ensure that new techniques for bearing failure analysis, together with the latest developments in technology, can be deployed as quickly as possible to minimise gearbox downtime.
