SCHAEFFLER’S SPLIT
TECHNOLOGIES’
MAINTENANCE TRIFECTA
REDUCES TOTAL COST OF
OWNERSHIP
Schaeffler Australia combines three of its
time-saving split technologies to radically
reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and
save time and machinery downtime involved in
heavy industry and bulk handling maintenance
throughout New Zealand.
Its split SNS housing, split spherical roller
bearing and NTSG split labyrinth seal can be
combined or used individually to allow repairs
and maintenance to be carried out easily and
efficiently.
Split technologies (as opposed to standard
non-split bearings, seals and plummer blocks)
mean machinery can be disassembled swiftly for
parts maintenance or replacement.
The latest Schaeffler split technologies also
increase safety by reducing the amount of heavy
disassembly and assembly tasks typical of
maintenance on machinery such as conveying
equipment, materials processing plant, ventilation
plant, and machinery involved in heavy industry.
“Complex additional tasks – such as removing
gears and clutches, dismounting drives, and
dismantling shaft lines – are no longer necessary
with split components,” says Schaeffler Australia.
“This saves time and money, which both
contribute to a significant TCO reduction.”
By removing many of the steps and complications
involved with non-split solid bearing, seal or
plummer block housing replacement, the easily
installed split technologies increase uptime and
profitability.
Schaeffler split technologies – which are
especially useful on shafts supported at several
points and locations that are difficult to access –
are typically applied to machinery such as bucket
wheel excavators and reclaimers, winches and
sheaves, worm conveyors, bucket conveyors,
belt conveyors, mixing and stirring plant,
mills and crushers, sintering plant, fans and
ventilators, dust extraction plant and drive and
transmission shafts.
Ongoing reliability of premium quality FAG
split technologies is assured by the design,
production and service standards of the global
Schaeffler group, which employs more than
92,000 people globally, including more than
6,000 at 16 research and development centres
dedicated to high-performance, low-maintenance
bearing technology.
Schaeffler bearings are backed in Australia
and New Zealand by product selection and
packaging solutions, installation expertise, online
condition monitoring, and lubrication technology
for optimal performance.
