Overview How can you improve productivity and meet increasing demands without driving up costs? You’re under constant pressure to run machines at higher speeds for greater throughput, which pushes production lines past their limits. Your purchasing department is directed to choose lower-price replacement parts, and even OEMspeciied parts are often designed to be ‘just good enough.’ In this vicious cycle, maintenance downtime creates higher repair costs and makes it harder to meet output targets. Running machinery to failure leads to reactive maintenance, which is the highest-cost approach in...

Bearing remanufacturing Replacing bearings can be an expensive proposition, both in new bearing cost and lost productivity. At SKF, we take bearings that were slated for scrapping and expertly remanufacture them to like-new condition for extended service. All ball and roller bearings — regardless of OEM —10" to 315" in diameter • Slewing ring bearings • Ball and roller: thrust, radial, multi-row • Roller: cross, three-row, cylindrical • Contact ball: four- and eight-point • Thin section ball and roller • Caster bearings • Backing bearings • Bearings smaller than 10" may be remanufactured as well...

Bearing remanufacturing options We can also remanufacture your bearings to a new or higher speciication, by mounting sensors or providing integrated lubrication, sealing solutions, and rework to other speciications. If your bearing is beyond repair, choose SKF’s new replacement bearings, which meet or exceed OEM standards at a lower cost than an OEM replacement bearing. Housing remanufacturing Why replace a bearing housing if you don’t need to? Whether minimal repairs or an extensive rebuild is required, SKF lets you return to operation quickly and extend the operational life of your equipment....

Machine tool spindle remanufacturing At SKF, we know how important • Lower spare parts inventory spindle reliability is to keeping needed production targets. We’ve been • Increase reliability, speed, precision, operating machine tools in our own and eficiency facilities for more than 100 years, and we manufacture super-precision • Produce more without incurring bearings for spindles. higher maintenance costs and downtime We service thousands of machine tools spindles annually through our Remanufacturing process global network of service centers. 1 Disassembly and condition SKF local spindle hotels...

Rope sheave remanufacturing The rope sheave is a key element in the paper-making process. If sheaves are not running properly, the rope can slip, resulting in rope wear, paper tail tears, and broken ropes, requiring unscheduled shut-downs. Lubricant leakage damages the paper, and the need to access hazardous locations puts maintenance personnel at risk. SKF replacement rope sheaves operate maintenance-free for two years or more, and are an excellent solution for the ‘wet end’ of paper mills where humidity is an issue. the bad performers with rope sheaves rebuilt by SKF, unplanned downtime was...
