SKF’s Oil Conditioning Unit (OCU) helps to prolong bearing lifetimes by improving the performance of lubricants in service. The plug-and-play unit cools and filters lubrication oil as it circulates. Cooling helps to improve lubricant performance, while filtration removes contaminants. Filtration levels can be selected from coarse to ultra-fine.

Read MoreSKF Bearings Double Service Life Of Vibrating Screens
SKF and the W.S. Tyler processing arm of Haver & Boecker have partnered together using SKF upgraded Explorer bearings to engineer a solution that has doubled the service life of their F-Class screens. After using the upgraded SKF Explorer for more than 15,000 hours without problems, one of Haver & Boecker’s mining customers was able to significantly boost efficiency by…
Read MoreSKF Speedi-Sleeves Resolve Cracking Issues
New generation SKF Speedi-Sleeves used with radial shaft seals in rotating machinery resolve the micro-cracking issues typically associated with conventional chrome-plated sleeves. These sealing solutions enable users to quickly and efficiently replace worn sealing surfaces without requiring time-consuming and unproductive machine disassembly and subsequent shaft regrinding.
