Added Safety For Today's Railway Industry

Railways, especially those operating mainline passenger and high-speed services, need to be run safely, reliably and efficiently. At the same time, railway operators seek competitive, cost effective solutions. SKF has worked closely with the railway...

Centralized Real-Time Oil Condition Monitoring

The importance of clean and dry oil can not be over-stated. Particle count data and water/humidity levels are an invaluable part of any proactive monitoring program. It is important to ensure abrasive wear problems are minimized, and water related...

Continuous Moisture Measurement in Lubricating Oil

Moisture measurement in lubricating oil is classically carried out in the laboratory with a Karl Fischer titrator.

Fault Detection for Mining and Mineral Processing Equipment

Fault detection techniques have been developed for use in the mining, minerals processing and cement industries. This is a cost-effective solution, under the SKF Copperhead system concept, for the detection of potentially costly machinery faults that...

Getting the Inside View of Bearing Loads, Thanks to a Little Touch of Magic

The more engineers can understand what types of loads, stresses and strains bearings experience during operation in real conditions, the better the bearings can...

Integration of Diagnostic Sensors for Intelligent Filtration

As research and training have improved the understanding of the damaging effects of contamination in oil, more lubricant users have focused on and expanded existing filtration efforts.

Integration of Vibration Signals

Integration results from the physical and mathematical relationship between acceleration, velocity, and displacement units of measure for machinery vibration. Here we outline the case for and against

Monitoring Gearboxes With Magnetic Plugs

In early 2001, the average rebuild cost for J.R. Simplot Co.�s Caterpillar 785 haul truck differentials and final drives was $2.11 per hour of operation. By 2003, the average cost had dropped to $1.36 per hour of operation and the mine�s maintenance...

New Sensor Solutions for Railways

Harmonization of European railway operations is now well under way, with the promise of advanced control systems that offer improved safety and reliability. The European Train Control System (ETCS) is a ...

On-Line Wear Debris Monitoring Technologies - What Works and Why

Wear debris analysis is essential to effectively gauging machinery life. When machine components begin to wear, the evidence can usually be found in the lubricant flowing through the machine. For example, as parts undergo sliding, fatigue or creep,...
