Services

1) BEARING REMANUFACTURING

Extending the service life of bearings to reduce costs, downtime and environmental impact

Wear, rust, indentations, microcrack Certain application conditions – like contamination or sporadic metal–to-metal contact in the rolling contact zone – can cause all sorts of damage to your bearings. As a result, the service life of a bearing is often shorter than the calculated rating life.The alternative is to apply a controlled remanufacturing process before any major damage or bearing failure occurs. This can substantially prolong the service life of the bearing in question, reducing costs and lead times. And since it requires less energy than manufacturing a new bearing, it is better for the environment as well.

The typical candidates of industrial bearing remanufacturing are:

• large size bearings
• caster bearings
• backing bearings
• slewing bearings

5) ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Optimize the performance of your design with SKF knowledge

The development of a new gearbox with higher power density, the improvement of an existing gas turbine to meet the market’s increasing demands or the design of a completely new generation of wind turbines with higher kW-cost ratio. The scope of development projects is very wide. Rapid globalization makes technical development even more important; only with innovative solutions and increased quality and performance your machines can stay ahead of your competition and contribute to the bottom line of your customers.

 

To run technical development projects successfully you often need different types of high level knowledge, such as advanced calculation specialists and material experts. Competences that are not always available in your own company.

7) MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE

Today, maintenance managers face a difficult task: Although their staff may be very good, they have a large group of machines to look after and may not be able to follow precision maintenance practices. In addition, equipment maintenance is becoming more complicated because of ongoing technical advances, and environmental and safety laws are increasingly strict, placing more pressure on this function than ever before.

Recognizing the need for supplemental resources, SKF offers a broad range of maintenance services to help companies achieve their maintenance goals.

 

 

8) OPERATOR DRIVEN RELIABILITY

Putting the power of condition monitoring within reach

Operator Driven Reliability (ODR) – a process pioneered by SKF – empowers operators to contribute proactively to a company-wide aintenance strategy. The process is built on a simple realization – that equipment operators are usually the first to detect even the smallest changes in machine conditions.

SKF's ODR service contract makes it easy

With an SKF ODR service contract, SKF first prepares a detailed business case for your ODR program – one that meets your business objectives and is based on documented results in your industry. An SKF ODR program can be integrated easily with other SKF Asset Management Services, including predictive maintenance, proactive reliability maintenance and integrated maintenance solutions programs.

Support from design to deployment and beyond

After working closely with you to design and develop a customized program, SKF then handles every detail of installation, remaining with your team during program implementation and deployment. Services include expert staff training, ongoing product and process support, and doing whatever it takes to create a successful program.
