SKF Bearing Life Cycle
Help your bearing achieve its maximum service lifetime Every bearing has a pre-calculated service lifetime. However, research has shown that for various reasons, not every bearing achieves it. Important stages, which have a major impact on a bearing service lifetime can be recognised during the bearing’s lifecycle. These stages are mounting and lubrication, alignment, re-lubrication, basic condition monitoring and dismounting. Mounting & Lubrication The stages in a bearing life cycle are extremely important for achieving...

An image states a thousand words; infrared thermography will be the only diagnostic engineering that lets you instantaneously visualize and confirm thermal efficiency’s. IRISYS infrared cameras indicate you thermal complications, quantify them with precise non-contact temperature measurement, and document them immediately in seconds with professional easy-to-create Infrared ReportsAlmost every little thing that uses or transmits electrical power gets very hot earlier than it fails. Cost effective strength management is significant to...

Introduction Beginning inside the late 1960′s, thermal imaging was limited to power line and substation inspection of overheating electrical connections. Many methods have been cumbersome vehicle-mounted programs that price tag conceivably approximately $500,000 in present day dollars. When these programs made available for the initial time an easy and intuitive process of identifying link difficulties, these techniques couldn’t measure temperature or digitally document photos for later on analysis and reporting. The globally...

Measuring machinery misalignment with today’s tools, particularly computerized laser alignment systems and well-designed bracketing, is no longer as difficult a task as it once was, when all you had were a straight edge, feeler gauges and maybe a set of dial indicators with some make-shift hardware. Why then, is it that aligning the machinery to given target values is so often still so cumbersome and time-consuming? There may be several reasons, among them unnecessarily tight tolerances specified by the machinery vendor, or problems with...

Detecting issues induced by an imbalance within a machine’s signature vibration is known as vibration analysis. Vibration data is usually acquired by either mounting a transducer onto the machinery at several places or by using portable data-gathering vibration analysis equipment, such as a vibration analyzer, to acquire vibration...

Introduction These days it is becoming totally unacceptable to suffer unplanned shutdowns due to bearing failures in rotating equipment. Businesses simply cannot afford the resultant loss of production or service provision. However in many cases it is not only the immediate loss due to downtime that hurts but also the cost penalties for the un-notified interruption of supply. In the just-in-time world it is every bit as financially damaging to lose market opportunity (shelf space in supermarkets for example) as it is to be directly fined for...
