Increased industrial fan performance with SKF
SKF's fan upgrade solutions offers a 'systems approach' to fan maintenance and reliability that will help industrial facilities increase fan performance while decreasing maintenance and downtime.
SKF Y-bearing units designed to take the heat
The latest generation of Y-bearing units for extreme temperatures from SKF are optimising productivity and minimising costs in a diverse variety of industrial applications
These improvements result in excellent noise and vibration performance, higher speed capabilities and longer life.
The design parameters for each of the bearing components (rings, balls, cage, grease and seal when relevant) have been re-engineered with enhanced performance as the objective.
The re-engineering was only possible thanks to the SKF in-depth knowledge of tribology and lubrication in combination with analytical and modelling techniques supported by measurements and testing.
A specific and unique ball grade was also developed in addition to the application of new manufacturing techniques and inspection methods.
SKF Explorer DGBB also benefit from continuous improvement in the cleanliness of bearing steel.
In common with other SKF Explorer bearings, the increased dynamic load carrying capacity of the DGBB enables either downsizing or upgrading the strength and performance of existing assemblies.
In other words, identical performance can be achieved with a more compact design - saving material and improving power density.
Smaller bearings also have a lower operating temperature and lower noise and vibration levels.
Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type.
Examples of typical applications that can benefit from the enhanced performance offered by the SKF Explorer class include: electric motors; power tools; household appliances; automotive and industrial transmissions; agriculture and forestry machinery; material handling equipment; textile machinery; and printing machines.
