Gearbox design smashes engineering barriers
Considered a breakthrough in the world of industrial transmissions, a gearbox offers a service life of greater than 50,000 hours - 30,000 more than the industry average.
Packaging improvement prevents bearing damage
A versatile, robust and environmentally friendly packaging solution for the transportation of large-size bearings affords easier and safer handling and superior protection.
@ptitudeXchange is essentially a knowledge portal consisting of a comprehensive catalogue of overview documents, technical handbooks, white papers, application notes, best practices and benchmarking information, plus interactive tutorials and advisory systems.
Designed specifically for use by engineers and analysts across industry, these useful resources cover all of areas of SKF's business: bearings, lubrication, seals, linear motion and mechatronics, and condition monitoring.
One of the key goals of @ptitudeXchange is to assist engineers to optimise asset efficiency, by focusing on three categories: asset management, reliability engineering and mechanical maintenance.
Asset management examines the ways to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership of an asset, while at the same time maximising availability, performance efficiency and product quality.
Reliability engineering provides advice on how to achieve maximum reliability and life and encompasses a broad spectrum of subjects from RCA and FMEA to predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, inspection techniques and thermography.
Mechanical maintenance focuses on practical application of advice such as alignment, balancing, bearing installation and equipment history tracking, to name a few examples.
In addition, interactive tutorials and advice wizards allow convenient and easy access to knowledge at the click of a button.
Interactive services available to @ptitudeXchange members include a variety of programs to assist in the selection of lubricants, including intervals and quantities; the assessment of probable causes of bearing failure or vibration analysis of rotating machinery; plus a maintenance handbook.
Initial registration to @ptitudeXchange is free of charge, and registered users can access a large majority of the information available at no cost.
