Application of German SKL bearing in industrial pump industry

Industry application overview
The pump is a mechanical device that converts the mechanical energy of the prime mover into the kinetic energy of the fluid medium to realize the transmission or pressurization of the fluid medium. It is known as the heart of modern industry. It is widely used in agriculture, chemical industry, mining and metallurgy, electric power, national defense and military industry, urban municipal and other industries, and is the most widely used general machinery in the national economy. SKL has professional personnel and knowledge in increasing pump reliability and service life, reducing high energy consumption and maintenance costs, and improving flow and lift, which can help you meet the most stringent design and performance requirements.
Application cases
A large oil and gas producer has started a multi-year development project to exploit oil wells located thousands of meters below the sea level. Since the cost of lifting the mining equipment from the seabed for maintenance will exceed US $1 million each time, the manufacturer tries to extend the service life of the equipment by optimizing the design. The engineering department usually considers that the bearing of pump and motor is one of the main components that restrict its service life. Based on our long-term experience in advanced simulation of rotating equipment, the application engineering team modeled the application in our proprietary software. Through this model, SKL simulated the use of bearing rolling body, cage and raceway materials. By using various high-end materials on the rolling body and special alloy steel in the raceway material, SKL is equipped with bearing combinations that can meet the maximum operating interval under harsh conditions. By simulating the application and operating parameters provided by oil and gas producers, SKL convinced the company that the new bearing design will reach or exceed the specified service life.
