articleWith lockdown and social distancing measures still impacting industrial sites and the need to be competitive in an increasingly global market becoming ever more vital, one thing that businesses cannot afford to have is unnecessary downtime. The recent IP&E Live conference on Industrial Maintenance, sponsored by Omicron and Megger, took an in-depth look at reliability best practices
productNSK Spacea series bearings equipped with Molded Oil solid lubricant have solved a problem of premature bearing failures in a petrochemical plant in Spain. They are installed on the submerged rollers of a conveyor belt and are in contact with water, hydrocarbons and particles in suspension from the production process.
productSchaeffler UKs technical training courses for 2013 include one-, twoand three-day training for managers, engineers and technicians involved in the selection, operation and maintenance of rolling bearings, as well as condition monitoring, vibration analysis and mounting of rolling bearings.
productSKF Energy Efficient (E2) deep groove ball bearings, which enhance energy efficiency through reduced bearing friction, have low energy consumption and can offer other benefits to rewinders and rebuilders of electric motors.
productSKF has extended meantime between failure for British baking firm Warburtons from six months to three years with its extreme temperature Y-bearings (insert bearings), a dry lubrication option that removes the need for high temperature greases.
articleBy replacing a solid spherical roller bearing on an exhaust gas fan with a split spherical roller bearing from Schaeffler, a chemical plant has saved €220,000
productNapoleon Engineering Services (NES) has announced its custom bearing design and manufacturing capabilities for centrifugal pumps and turbomachinery applications.
articleThe 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.
articleSchaeffler has developed a new plummer block housing for spherical rolling bearings which, it says, increases the operating life of the bearings by up to 50% compared to conventional plummer block housings
productPlastic specialist, igus UK has launched dry-tech box, a sample box designed to help the end-user quickly find the right bearing for the application.
