Bearing Accessories are engineering items whixh help in getting maximum out of a bearing together with reducing the effort required in mounting and dismounting of bearing on shaft, which in turn facilitates frequent mounting and dismounting and reduces the wear and tear of shaft thereby enchancing its life. Use of sleeves for mounting of bearing also leave cushion for location of bearing on shaft for assembly purpose.
On other hand, housings having provision for proper lubrication and protection from dusty environment which eventually lead to longer bearing life. Besides, additional monitoring systems can also be incorporated for sophisticated installations.
Equally important is application of oil injection mounting and dismounting accessories which ensures installation, removal of bearings without causing damage to it.
In India, SKF observed that the reasons of failures of bearings are mostly associated with use of inferior bearing accessories. Therefore, SKF introduced a series of bearing accessories under the brand name of SIBCO which conform to same technical standards that goes in the making of SKF Bearings
