Empower your maintenance workforce with WearCheck training courses

Image
The condition monitoring sector is one which is constantly evolving and developing to incorporate innovation and boost efficiency. It is for this reason that ongoing training is essential to keep the maintenance crew at the forefront of technological advancements within the industry. WearCheck’s technical manager, Steven Lumley, who oversees the company’s training programme, believes that companies where staff are not well trained in the latest maintenance techniques will be hampered by diminishing effectiveness of their condition monitoring programme. Says Lumley, ‘We urge companies operating in all industries to invest in training their staff to optimise their return on investment in condition monitoring. ‘All WearCheck’s courses comply with lockdown regulations to ensure the safety of delegates and staff. Please contact us to confirm whether the courses will be held at a venue or online, as we strive to comply with pandemic regulations.’ The oil analysis and condition monitoring tra

Image
Delivering energy savings of up to 60% and an increase in Free Air Delivery (FAD) of up to 21%, (compared to fixed-speed models), Atlas Copco’s the new GA 22 – 37 VSDs (Variable Speed Drive) air compressor range is in an efficiency class of its own. Along with its ultra-efficiency, this exceptional air compressor range also raises the bar on performance, reliability and connectivity thanks to cutting-edge designs and innovative technologies. Atlas Copco revolutionised the air compressor industry with the introduction of VSD technology.

New SKF Cooper E-Series – making two halves so much better than a whole

Image
SKF is pleased to announce the upgrade of the highly successful and renowned Cooper roller split bearings. With the new Cooper E-Series, SKF has managed to make an already excellent product even better to deliver a host of additional cost-, time- and safety-related benefits that will optimise machine availability and uptime, reduce operational costs, ultimately increasing plant production. SKF Cooper leads the market in innovative split bearing technology. Featuring several ground-breaking designs, these roller split bearings offer a cost- and time-efficient solution in the ‘trapped’ bearing position of machines. The argument for split bearings as the optimum solution for certain applications is simple. When using a split bearing, the drive coupling or the cantilevered drive and gearbox do not need to be dismounted during bearing replacement. As very few changes are required to the shaft alignment or driveline, realignment can be avoided altogether. The bearings can thus be easily

Following 3 months of gruelling underground testing, SKF MUDBLOCK seals the deal

Image
SKF recently secured an order for 600 MUDBLOCK cassette seals after these reliable products delivered excellent results during a punishing underground mining field test over a three-month period. SKF was asked by a long-standing customer, who is a leading supplier of braking systems for off-highway, industrial and underground mining equipment to end-users, to identify particular seals. “Having identified the products as cassette seals, we referenced them to our newly developed SKF MUDBLOCK (MUD11) cassette seals and received a quote from our customer for 300 pieces in Q3 2021,” says Andre Weyers, SKF Product Manager: Seals. Weyers explains that the name MUDBLOCK is derived from the fact that SKF originally designed these cassette seals for tractor applications in rice planting fields where the seals are submerged in water and mud. Presenting the perfect multi-lip cassette sealing solution, these seals have been specially engineered for heavy-duty jobs and to ensure reliable market-
