SKF introduces new performance class of bearings for pump applications. (Equipment Update).A new performance class of bearings that enables pump designers and manufacturers to add value to their products by way of increased service life and reduced warranty claims is now available from SKF SKF Svenska Kullagerfabriken SKF Svenska Klätterförbundet (Sweden) SKF Smithsonian Kite Festival SKF San Antonio Kelly Field Annex (Lackland AFB, Texas) [R]. The new bearings, called SKF Explorer Angular Contact Ball Bearings (ACBB ACBB Angular Contact Ball Bearing ACBB American Council for Better Broadcasting ), are specifically designed to withstand the toughest pump operating conditions. Under extensive laboratory testing the bearings exhibited up to three times longer service life than conventional angular contact bearings. The increase in bearing performance offers pump designers and manufacturers vital new design options, including those for downsizing (1) Converting mainframe and mini-based systems to client/server LANs. (2) To reduce equipment and associated costs by switching to a less-expensive system. (jargon) downsizing or extending mean time between failure (MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The average time a component works without failure. It is the number of failures divided by the hours under observation. MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures ). Pump users can expect greater reliability and smoother operation of the pump system.
