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

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 replaced in situ, making them especially suited for tight, difficult-to-access locations. This helps to minimise downtime during machinery maintenance and service with a reduction in Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) of up to two-thirds. In addition to boosting production and shrinking maintenance costs, the reduction in the number of maintenance steps such as, for example, the need to lift heavy equipment in order to replace conveyor pulley bearings enhances worker safety. The new E-Series is dimensionally interchangeable as it incorporates an extended range of series 01 and 02 bearings in bore sizes up to 150 mm. This enables customers and end-users to conveniently replace existing 01 and 02 bearings with new bearings in the same dimensions. The entire product range is available in sizes up to 300 mm, making the E-Series suitable for a wide range of applications on industrial and marine equipment including belt and screw conveyors, industrial fans, industrial drive shafts, water turbines and propeller shafts. The upgrade also sees a unique and patented brass cage design with an optimised roller complement that delivers benefits such as increased carrying capacity, greater safety margins, longer L10 rating life and subsequent improved service life. /ends SKF’s mission is to be the undisputed leader in the bearing business. We do this by offering solutions that reduce friction and CO2 emissions, whilst at the same time increasing machine uptime and performance. Our products and services around the rotating shaft, include bearings, seals, lubrication management, artificial intelligence and wireless condition monitoring. SKF is represented in more than 130 countries and has around 17,000 distributor locations worldwide. Annual sales in 2021 were SEK 81 732 million and the number of employees was 42,602. www.skf.com ® SKF is a registered trademark of the SKF Group.

Mines to gain control of yellow metal assets – aims to reduce fraud

SAMAR announces plans to cover entire life-cycle of all assets MIDRAND, SOUTH AFRICA – 25 May 2017 – The Southern African Movable Asset Register (SAMAR) today announces its plans that will allow mines, contractors, manufacturers, importers, builders, banks, insurers as well as the general public to control title and ownership of all movable assets, including yellow metal and other movable assets used during operations. In Africa, many yellow metal assets are crudely marked and registered to businesses. However, SAMAR creates the most recent reliable record of an asset and yellow metal by updating records in real-time as changes are made by various system participants. This allows businesses to effectively manage and control the financing of assets and yellow metal not on eNaTIS throughout their lifecycle. This greatly reduces fraud, theft, double discounting, or incorrect depiction for value and insurance purposes. Benefits for contractors • The value of movable assets and yello...

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

Image
The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav...

MEDIA STATEMENT A strong Health and Safety culture improves productivity and assists in creating a safe and great place to work. The health and safety dialogue company ensures labour force, management, community and all stakeholders are aligned in creating and respecting a safe and healthy working environment. Through workshops and visual campaigns, we bring your Health and Safety Policy to life. Legislation is designed to protect human life and to enforce safety standards. However, OHS Acts are often complex and difficult to understand especially in areas with low literacy. It is essential as a business to ensure your labour force truly understand the associated risks within their working environment; culture goes beyond ticking training boxes. Has your organisation considered the importance of promoting a Health and Safety culture?
