Featured Items from SKF
Welcome to SKF!
SKF's expertise is built on the development, design and manufacture of bearings, seals and lubrication systems. You likely know how their reputation well! But they are also focused on innovation, and we would like to bring some of their most recent products and updates to your attention.
Reliable rotation for the world's dirtiest jobs
Conveyors and material handling equipment used in aggregate, pulp and paper, and metals applications are subjected to extremely harsh environments. Unfortunately, most mounted tapered roller bearings are not up to the challenge. Unplanned stops occur regularly in these punishing conditions, resulting in devastating production and productivity losses. The most frequent cause of downtime is bearing seal failure.
SKF has developed a mounted tapered roller bearing with sealing performance that’s exponentially better than the competition. In fact, recent testing has proven that SKF mounted tapered roller bearings with CR Seals are perfect for use in these harsh operating environments. The seals in these Type E bearings from SKF withstood over 600 hours of mud slurry testing without contamination ingress – whereas competitive bearings showed signs of contamination at 50 hours or less.
Advanced sealing technology from CR Seals:
- Hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR): Ideal for heavy industrial applications where extended service life is required, this high performance material provides excellent resistance to wear and high temperatures.
- Full rubber outside diameter: Improves static sealing, heat dissipation and retention in housing.
- Multiple sealing lips: Pre-greased auxiliary radial and axial lips support the main lip for maximum protection against contamination.
- Relubrication: Seal is designed to accommodate bearing relubrication without risk of damage to the sealing lips. The seal is grease purgeable.
- Integrated counterface: Wear sleeve and seal form a single, unitized seal unit that eliminates shaft machining requirements.
SKF Pulse™
Your entry point to successful predictive maintenance!
Vibration and temperature readings provide vital data about the health of your machines. Uncover these insights with the SKF Pulse. Combining an easy-to-use sensor with a free mobile app, you can quickly and easily identify machine condition without the need for training or diagnostic expertise.
Predictive maintenance is the process of determining the condition of machinery while in operation. This enables the repair of problem components prior to failure. SKF condition monitoring instruments not only help plant personnel reduce the possibility of catastrophic failure, but also allow them to order parts in advance, schedule manpower, and plan other repairs during the downtime.
SKF condition monitoring instruments help to decrease maintenance costs meanwhile increasing the profitability of your installation.
SKF offers the condition monitoring instruments for:
- Temperature measurement
- Speed measurement
- Sound measurement
- Visual measurement
- Vibration measurement
- Electric discharge current measurement
