SKF offers a range of basic products designed for the user who wishes to begin a low-cost condition monitoring programme. Basic instruments assess and report on temperature, oil condition, speed, bearing condition, shaft alignment, noise, vibration and more. SKF basic condition monitoring products include:

Low-cost, compact, lightweight and feature-rich, the SKF MicroVibe P is the first vibration test and measurement instrument designed to be used with a Personal Data Assistant (PDA).

SKF Vibration Pen Plus is a pocket instrument that provides a low-cost multi-parameter approach to condition monitoring.

Our portable monitoring solutions enable maintenance personnel to identify problems on the spot, and collect dynamic machine data which can be analysed offline using our @ptitude Monitoring Suite of software products.
SKF offers a wide variety of portable condition monitoring hardware, including:
SKF Microlog Analyser MX series portable maintenance instrument The Microlog MX is, in effect, several instruments combined in a single, fully ruggedised, handheld device. The MX series provides users the flexibility to choose from a range of different testing and analysis applications. The MX modular analysis tools include:

• A conformance check module to assess machinery health in accordance with industrial standards (ISO, BS, API etc) or enable users to define their own standards.
• An easy to use FFT analyzer with on-screen phase vector readout
• A stand alone balancer (static & dynamic couple, single or dual plane)
• A bump test for determining resonance
• A digital signal recorder
• Run up, coast down

SKF offers all types of lubrication systems from single point lubricators to complex, fully-automated and centralized lubrication and oil circulation systems. SKF lubrication products are found in all industrial and vehicle systems, e.g. mining, railroad, machine tools, pulp & paper, wind power and marine equipment.

The benefits of correct, regular, measured lubrication as part of a fully managed maintenance programme cannot be overstated. Around thirty percent of premature failures in mechanical equipment are caused by poor or inadequate lubrication. Automating this process provides replenishment at the correct interval, at all the points where it is required and with the correct quantity. Minimal but adequate quantity lubrication can have major cost benefits and offers substantial environmental benefits over less precise traditional techniques.

The SKF SYSTEM 24 is a single-point automatic lubricator that can be used to supply grease to single lubrication points that are usually lubricated by means of a grease gun. SKF SYSTEM 24 lubricators can be set to provide the correct quantity of lubricant over a set time period. This enables more accurate control of the amount of lubricant supplied compared to traditional manual re-lubrication techniques. The SKF SYSTEM 24 is excellent for applications that are difficult to reach with a grease gun, or where a large number of greasing points mean that manual greasing techniques would be less effective.

The central lubricating system offers the following advantages:

• Higher productivity resultingfrom increased life and reduced shutdowns.
• Reduced operating costsresulting from a lower consumption of energy (lower friction), spare parts, lubricants and labour costs resulting from reduced requirements for maintenance and operation.
• Reduced wearresulting from dosing regularly and automatically precise and controlled quantities of a lubricant within short intervals over the operation of the machine.
• Elimination of the riskthat some lubricating points are over-lubricated and others are neglected.
• Elimination of lubricant contamination.
• Increased safetybecause the operator does not need to be in the vicinity of difficult-to-reach and dangerous areas of the machine (e.g. ovens, cranes, harvesting machines, chemical).
• Maximum cleanlinessis achieved.
• Environment-friendlinessresults from the usage of minimum quantities of lubricants and handling.
