SKF launched its app for the SKF Drive-up for mounting bearings, complementing the PC software SKF Drive-up Method. The app is developed for ease of use in the field, enabling to achieve accurate adjustment of spherical roller and Carb toroidal roller bearings mounted on tapered seatings.
The correct fit is attained by controlling the axial drive-up of the bearing from a predetermined starting position, and the method incorporates the use of a SKF hydraulic nut fitted with a dial indicator, as well as a highly accurate digital pressure gauge mounted on the selected pump. Tha app is available bot for iOS and Android formats, in the Apple app store and Google Play, and can be used on smartphones and tablets. The user only needs to select the bearing designation and seating arrangement, and required values for optimal mounting are displayed. The app also provides step-by-step working instructions, and both required values and instructions can be saved in pdf format. More details at this link.
