Asset care

The stand will feature a selection of the company’s advanced predictive maintenance tools and services, as well as information on current promotions, such as the SKF Microlog trade-in, and reliability and maintenance training courses organised and led by SKF specialists.

"To successfully extend the life of plant assets it is important to avoid operating a fixed interval approach and instead run a condition based maintenance (CBM) regime to prevent asset failure,” said Andy Mynett, platform deployment manager at SKF. "At Maintec 2015, we’ll be focusing on the importance of basic, better and best asset care to show customers how to identify hidden faults and potential failures, so that assets can be managed in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.”

Visitors to the stand will find the new SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 11, which is an entry-level tool for maintenance or production engineers to carry out shaft alignment quickly, simply and accurately for motor, fan, pump and compressor applications. Also on show will be the SKF Microlog series, a range of portable, handheld data collectors and analysers, the SKF Wireless MicroVibe, and a selection of other maintenance products. Stand M4K
