The lifespan of a greased bearing can be limited in a high temperature environment. However, dry lubrication bearings are extending maintenance intervals, protecting product quality and conserving both energy consumption and grease in many applications, says Phil Burge, country communication canager, SKF.
SKF’s new axial excluder seal is especially designed for the wind market and addresses the harsh conditions that wind turbine main shafts face.
SKF has launched the SKF Condition Based Lubrication that enables remote and automatic lubrication of a wind turbine’s hard to access bearing system, eliminating the need for an on-site service engineer to perform extra manual lubrication.
Designed to enable wind farms to extend turbine maintenance intervals, manage resources effectively and avoid downtime, SKF WindCon, a condition monitoring system for wind turbines, has saved an estimated £1m for a single global wind farm operator.
SKF’s new anti-corrosion coating for hub bearing units makes disassembly of the bearing from the knuckle and rim easier. It also improves the aesthetics of the bearing during vehicle life and at the same time prevents rusty surfaces from coming into contact with the seals.
Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA) should not be overlooked as an integral part of a detailed maintenance strategy review. It is central to the whole life cost that is incurred through operation of an asset, explains Phil Burge, Country Communication Manager for SKF.
SKF has launched two upgraded thermal cameras that are said to cut costs and enhance efficiency by enabling engineers to detect potential problems before they occur.
SKF has developed the PowerLuber grease gun for maintenance professionals. The 18-volt PowerLuber features an LCD display that indicates grease dispensed, cartridge level, charge level and more.
By understanding the different ways in which belts are constructed to satisfy a range of performance requirements and applications, engineers can install components that will maximise efficiency and significantly cut maintenance costs, says Phil Burge, country communication manager for SKF
