SKF has updated its Bearing Maintenance Handbook, which covers the basics of bearings and bearing arrangements, including instructions for mounting bearings, bearing units, housings and seals.
The handbook also describes safe and skilful maintenance practices that can help extend bearing service life, reduce machine downtime and minimise unplanned maintenance activities.
It is divided into 14 chapters, clearly marked with numbered blue tabs in the right margin.
The chapters are as follows: Chapter 1 covers the basics of bearings, related products and bearing arrangements.
Chapters 2 through 5 contain instructions for mounting rolling bearings, bearing housings, bearing units and seals.
Chapter 6 describes the maintenance activities associated with machine alignment.
Chapter 7 provides information and recommendations for important maintenance activities for lubrication.
Chapter 8 covers the maintenance activities of inspection and condition monitoring.
Chapter 9 is about troubleshooting, presenting common maintenance problems and suggested solutions.
Chapter 10 contains instructions for dismounting rolling bearings, bearing units, bearing housings and seals.
Chapter 11 is dedicated to the ISO classification system of bearing damage.
Chapter 12 provides an overview of SKF's additional resources for maintenance support.
Chapter 13 contains the appendices of important reference information needed for maintenance work, as well as an overview of SKF maintenance products.
Chapter 14 is the index.
The handbook is not intended as an application design catalogue - for detailed information about designing bearing arrangements, customers should refer to the SKF Interactive Engineering Catalogue available on the SKF website.
The SKF Bearing Maintenance Handbook can be requested from local SKF sales representatives.
It is also available in electronic format via the online SKF Aptitude Exchange, and can be purchased on Amazon.
