Metal Challenge #12: Increased risk of bearing failure due to increased load and speed
When you increase output by increasing load and speed, you need to find a way to mitigate the higher risk of bearing failure.
Pushing bearings to their limits
Higher demands on production output are met with increased speeds and loads, which puts more stress on your bearings. SKF bearings can often handle that, but to avoid unplanned stops, we need to know how to get the absolute most from them. How? By choosing the proper lubricant and seals, considering remanufacturing, adding condition monitoring, and more. What’s best varies from application to application and from plant to plant.
Share the risk with SKF
Making the right choices to get more from your bearings requires knowledge and experience. Pushing your bearings further also inevitably comes with a risk. You can mitigate that risk by sharing it with SKF through a performance contract.
