productDuring a visual inspection of the trunnion drive end bearing on Tube Mill No.1, engineers at Sunstate Cement in Australia discovered that the bearing was in a reasonable condition despite 28 years of service. It was decided to extend the service life by rotating the outer ring by 180°. Schaeffler technicians were then asked to provide a condition monitoring solution for the trunnion end bearing.
productSchaeffler’s engineers have developed a system with the objective of reducing spindle failures by enabling very fast spindle deactivation in the event of a collision. Furthermore, the system allows the machine operator to detect these unfavourable operating conditions and to make targeted adjustments to the machining process.
productSchaeffler offers a highly specialised modular system that allows customers to select exactly the right components for their rotary tables and rotary axes – which includes high speed, high performance and high precision designs.
articleRepeated rolling bearing failures on various calender units at the RENOLIT Group’s production plant in Worms, Germany, were causing unplanned downtime and costly production stoppages. Schaeffler was given the task of developing a monitoring concept that would improve the overall availability of the facilities
articleSchaeffler UK is providing route-based monitoring services to a UK-based producer of crisps. By analysing vibration data from a range of plant and equipment, it is able to detect any damage to components such as rolling bearings and gears early, reducing unplanned downtime. Schaeffler also provides regular thermographic surveys of electrical panels
productSchaeffler offers expandable solutions for predictive maintenance 4.0 with components, systems and digital services for the monitoring and lubrication of a wide range of machines. The Perlenbach water supply association, for example, which supplies drinking water to 50,000 residents in seven municipalities of Germany’s Eifel region every day, relies on Schaeffler solutions when it comes to pump maintenance.
productFor motor manufacturers, designing and manufacturing customer-specific electric motors in small batch sizes can be a challenge, particularly in terms of cost effectiveness. FAG flanged housing units from Schaeffler offer a quick, low cost solution.
articleWhile Condition Monitoring (CM) systems continue to prove their value in industrial applications, many companies are still unsure how CM should fit into their Industry 4.0 strategy and the automated ‘lights-out’ factory, says Ian Pledger, service engineer at Schaeffler UK.
productSchaeffler has revamped and relaunched its UK website offering engineers easier navigation, improved functionality and faster access to precision bearing products and related services.
productSchaeffler reports an increase in demand for its FAG Black Series of housing units, which are manufactured to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The units are also available with inch size bore dimensions.
