The SKF Bearing Life Cycle Help your bearing achieve its maximum service life Every bearing has a certain service life potential. However, research has shown that, for various reasons, not every bearing achieves it. Important stages which have a major impact on a bearing service life can be recognised during the bearing’s lifecycle. These stages are mounting, lubrication, alignment, basic condition monitoring and dismounting. The stages in a bearing life cycle are extremely important for achieving the maximum service life of the bearing. By applying the right maintenance practices and using...

SKF Maintenance and Lubrication Product - 5

Basic condition monitoring Dismounting Includes pullers, both mechanical and hydraulic, induction heaters and hydraulic equipment At some point, the bearing will reach the end of its service life and will have to be replaced. Although the bearing may not be used again, it is extremely important to dismount it correctly so that the service life of the replacement bearing is not compromised. Firstly, the use of proper dismounting methods tools will help prevent damage to other machine components, such as the shaft and housing, which are often re-used. Secondly, incorrect dismounting...

SKF Maintenance and Lubrication Product - 7

Main causes of premature bearing failures Poor fitting Around 16% of all premature bearing failures are caused by poor fitting (usually brute force...) and maintenance personnel being unaware of the availability of the correct fitting tools. Individual installations may require mechanical, hydraulic or heat application methods for correct and efficient mounting or dismounting. SKF offers a complete range of tools and equipment to make these tasks easier, quicker and more cost effective, backed up by a wealth of service engineering knowhow. Professional fitting, using specialised tools and...

SKF methods and tools Mounting Around 16% of all premature bearing failures are a result of poor fitting or using incorrect mounting techniques. Selecting the correct mounting technique for your application will help you extend your bearing’s service life and reduce costs resulting from premature bearing failure, as well as potential damage to the application. When dismounting bearings, care must be taken not to damage other machine components, such as the shaft or housing, as damage can compromise the machine’s efficiency and lifetime. Individual applications may require mechanical, heat...

Mechanical tools Helps prevent premature bearing failures Bearing fitting tool kit TMFT 36 Poor fitting, usually using brute force, accounts for 16% of premature bearing failures. The SKF Bearing Fitting Tool Kit is designed for quick and precise mounting of bearings, while minimising the risk of bearing damage. The right combination of impact ring and sleeve allows effective transmission of mounting force to the bearing ring with the interference fit, minimising the risk of damaging the bearing’s raceways or rolling elements. In addition to mounting bearings, the TMFT 36 is also suitable...

TMFT 36 is suitable for SKF bearing series DGBB (sealed) Interference fits on cylindrical shafts Most bearings are fitted to their shaft or housing with one component having an interference fit. For determining the correct fit, refer to the SKF General Catalogue, the SKF Maintenance Handbook or consult an SKF application engineer. Incorrect mounting When bearings are mounted cold, care must be taken to ensure the drive-up forces are applied to the ring with the interference fit. Damage to the bearing resulting in a failure can occur if the mounting force is transmitted through the rolling...
