productSKF’s Gothenburg factory has produced the company’s largest sealed spherical roller bearing (SRB) to date. The 241/900 SRB is 50% larger and three times heavier than the previous largest SKF sealed SRB.
productSKF has introduced a new high temperature, harsh environment food grade grease. LGED 2 uses a PFPE oil in combination with a PTFE thickener and is registered as NSF H1.
articleExotic materials such as high-nitrogen steels make hybrid bearings suitable for extreme applications under conditions of poor lubrication or contamination, says Phil Burge, Marketing and Communications Manager at SKF
productSKF is adding an easier and faster bearing evaluation tool to its shaft analysis software portfolio. SKF SimPro Quick bridges the gap between SKF’s basic online software tools and its recently released multi-shaft analysis application, SKF SimPro Expert, while maintaining compatibility with the company’s in-house engineering software.
articleMonitoring for early indications of bearing damage enables corrective action to be taken well ahead of bearing failure. Noise, high temperature running and excessive vibration are all indicative of imminent failure, allowing repair or replacements to be planned proactively rather than reactively, as Phil Burge, marketing and communications manager at SKF, explains
productSKF is making its high performance RSH seal design available on a larger range of SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearings. The RSH seal uses a highly optimised dual-lip configuration to provide additional protection in demanding environments. The company says that, for users, the result is bearings that last longer, especially in wet, contaminated or dusty operating conditions, and that need to be replaced less frequently.
productSKF has signed a three-year, multi-million-pound contract with BP to supply condition monitoring services to its UK offshore assets.
productPart of SKF’s family of filtration products, the Lincoln small grease reservoir filling filter helps minimise contaminants entering automatic lubrication systems during the filling process of smaller-sized reservoirs.
articleIt’s high summer and the beers are flowing to meet seasonal demand; but what should brewers be doing to ensure that their production systems work reliably to satisfy consumer demand? SKF’s Phil Burge turns his attention to the critical maintenance task of lubrication and uses the example of one German brewer who has gained considerable benefits from its investment in a fully automated lubrication system
productSKF and Siemens have signed a partnership agreement that will focus on improving train operators’ asset management efficiencies. The partnership will see the implementation of SKF’s Insight Rail condition based maintenance solution in combination with Siemens’ Railigent Application Suite that is linked with the Internet of Things operating system MindSphere.
