Mechanical maintenance

Mounting and dismounting

If machines are to perform well over extended periods, it's vital to use the correct mounting methods. Correct installation not only means good product quality, but often reduced energy consumption as well. SKF has several mounting products available, each with their specific technical and economical advantages for different foundations, applications and requirements.

Precision alignment

There are many factors to consider for optimal functionality and long service life for bearings, couplings, mechanical seals and other machine elements. A key factor is machinery alignment.

Balancing

In rotating equipment, unbalance occurs when the
geometric centre does not correspond with the centre of mass.
Upon rotation, this leads to unbalance forces that quickly increase with RPM.
This creates stress and vibration in your equipment, which in turn affects component service life, consumes energy, and can cause problems for attachment points and electrical installations.
