SKF develops solutions that drive productivity and cut operating costs across the marine market. Whether your business involves designing, building, sailing, or maintaining a ship, partnering with SKF can help you:
SKF and the marine performance cycle:
Specification and design
SKF's involvement in a project can begin in the specification stages, working in conjunction with classification agencies. The knowledge gained through SKF's applied research and worldwide experience contributes to better application solutions.
SKF has contributed to advanced propulsion systems and has redesigned electromechanical solutions to replace hydraulic systems in certain applications. To help OEMs optimize equipment designs while they are still in the prototype stage, SKF engineers use proprietary design software that acts as a "virtual test rig."
Quality products
Supported by a highly efficient global distribution network, SKF is able to deliver critical components by request, wherever, and whenever they are needed. These include everything from bearings and couplings, seals and lubricants to complete units.
Mounting and alignment
SKF mounting and alignment solutions are helping OEMs and shipyards cut maintenance costs by boosting machine reliability, service life, and safety. SKF provides a range of precision bearing and coupling mounting and dismounting services, plus shaft alignment and geometric alignment procedures.
Monitoring and maintenance
SKF remote monitoring and analysis services comply with marine agency classification guidelines, so they can help maximize vessel uptime by streamlining classification and inspection processes. These certified, proven SKF services are supported by an extensive range of condition monitoring tools and technology.
From basic bearing maintenance procedures and training to advanced root cause bearing failure analysis, SKF offers a range of maintenance engineering and consulting services to boost asset uptime. |
