Power generation
Continuous service, with no comfortable maintenance window
Power generation and rotating equipment in permanent operation. SKF bearings, seals, high thermal stability lubricants and power transmission for operations where availability is the metric that counts.
The problem
In continuous service, maintenance is either planned or suffered
Equipment turning twenty-four hours a day has no natural moment to be serviced. Failure does not give polite notice: it shows up as vibration, temperature or noise weeks in advance, and whoever catches it in time changes a bearing; whoever does not, changes the shaft.
What the sector demands
Availability as the metric
Performance is measured in service hours, not in the cost of the spare part.
Sustained temperature
The lubricant's thermal stability sets the real interval, not the one in the catalog.
Scarce shutdown windows
When there is a chance to intervene, the right part has to be on site.
Progressive failure
Rotating equipment announces its failure. The question is having the judgment and the part ready.
What we bring
