SKF South Africa, leading supplier of products, solutions and services within its global core technologies - rolling bearings, seals, mechatronics, services and lubrication systems, is entrenched as a trusted total solutions partner for Southern African industry.
An end user in West Africa recently experienced leakage problems on their crushers which, upon investigation, turned out to be damage to the all radial shaft seal arrangement caused by severe operational conditions. The customer contacted SKF in West Africa and although SKF West Africa could supply ten off split seals with dimensions 1180 x 1230 x 20, the lead time of twelve weeks was unacceptable to the customer who required a speedy solution due to costly lubrication losses and environmental pollution. SKF South Africa offered a SKF machined seal option which could be delivered to the customer at a third of the initial lead time quoted.
"Although the size of the seals was too big for the locally operated NG60 (600mm OD), we opted for the Austrian manufactured solution where SKF has the capability to machine endless seals up to 4000mm OD," explains Andr
