Improving Wind Turbine Monitoring Accuracy
Monitoring wind turbine operation is extremely challenging. Each turbine is subject to constant change due to the vagaries of the weather. As a result, a condition that might cause high stress on some of the components could be mistakenly attributed to a defect. SKF has made a significant step forward with the development of a new diagnostic tool to reduce the possibility of false alarms when monitoring wind turbine drivetrains …

Robust Bearings
Angular contact ball bearings usually have a contact angle of 40°. SKF has now extended its range of angular contact ball bearings with a new series of 25° bearings. For the first time, this makes it possible to produce asymmetrical bearing sets in a simple way that offers great service life advantages in axially loaded applications, such as pumps or electric motors – by solving well-known minimum load problems in a highly effective manner …

Sourcing genuine products concerns everyone – everywhere
The spread of counterfeit products in B2B is a growing problem worldwide. Customers might not even be aware that they are using counterfeits or know the risks associated with them. Unawareness about the quality and origin of products such as bearings can be a serious threat to machinery reliability and to the health and safety of workers and the environment, and they can increase operational costs far beyond the purchase price …
