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
The ATEX Zone 1 certification ensures the product meets the stringent safety requirements for installation in areas liable to contain flammable gases, vapours, liquids, dusts or fibres.
Also at Maintec will be the Wireless Machine Condition Detector (WMCD), which can be used with the Marlin handheld data manager to provide a flexible solution for carrying out operator inspections quickly and safely.
The system uses smart studs and temperature magnets to measure and record vibration, enveloped acceleration and temperature, enabling operating costs to be reduced considerably as part of a condition based maintenance programme.
The SKF Wireless Machine Condition Detector uses Bluetooth technology to collect and communicate data quickly and accurately, which can then be uploaded to the SKF @ptitude Monitoring Suite, also being shown at Maintec.
SKF @ptitude is a comprehensive software suite providing a common platform on which to view and analyse data from all SKF portable and on-line technologies.
Consolidating data in this way makes analysis and reporting simple and fast, and enables interfacing with other plant-wide systems, such as SKF @ptitude Decision Support, CMSS and DCS.
The SKF team will be available to discuss these latest technologies, and more, at stand G34 at Maintec, which is being held at the NEC, Birmingham, between the 11th and 13th March. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
