Inspecting bearings without a condition monitoring system

Your condition monitoring system probably doesn’t cover every single bearing. But to avoid bearing failures and unplanned stops, you still need to follow up on their status. So what can you do?

Dismountable for simpler inspection

SKF’s four-row tapered roller bearings have no intermediate rings, which makes mounting and dismounting easier. You can dismount and separate the cage and roller assemblies without damage and assemble them again. This enables easy maintenance inspection.

Our large four-row cylindrical roller bearings have separable flanges on the outer ring, which enables simpler mounting and makes it possible to inspect the outboard rows without dismounting the complete outer ring from the chock.
