Specializing in designing and manufacturing a broad spectrum of advanced marine products, SKF offers comprehensive solutions that cater to the specific needs of yachts and superyachts, reinforcing their durability and enhancing their performance.
A key focus of SKF is their range of marine bearings, a product line that significantly impacts the overall performance and lifespan of marine vessels. These bearings are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions and heavy loads, ensuring smooth operations and reducing maintenance needs.
The Simplex and Turbulo product lines, part of SKF’s marine portfolio, stand testament to the brand’s prowess in this field. The Simplex line, for example, includes the Simplex BlueRun Bearings, a solution specifically designed for high-load applications in water-lubricated sterntubes. These bearings are made from a composite material that offers excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, significantly enhancing their durability and longevity.
The Turbulo line, on the other hand, focuses on environmental protection with its range of oily water separators. The Turbulo Oily Water Separators, for instance, effectively remove oil and other pollutants from bilge water, helping vessels meet environmental regulations and maintain a sustainable operation.
Another noteworthy product is SKF’s Vibracon, a universal, reusable steel chock that is adjustable and can be used for all types of rotating machinery. Its design simplifies the machinery mounting process, reduces the risk of alignment errors, and thus prolongs the service life of the machinery.
Moreover, SKF provides Condition Monitoring solutions, a proactive maintenance strategy that helps detect early signs of machinery failure. These monitoring systems, such as the Multilog On-line System IMx-8, can track vibration, temperature, and other critical machinery parameters, allowing for timely maintenance and avoiding costly downtime.
SKF also excels in providing sealing solutions. Their range of high-quality seals, like the Simplex shaft seals, is designed to prevent ingress of water and other contaminants, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of marine equipment.
In the realm of lubrication systems, SKF’s BlueMon system stands out. This environmental monitoring solution helps mariners comply with the MARPOL Annex VI regulations, providing real-time emission data and ensuring seamless operation.
ptw Shipyard, a leader in yacht and superyacht repair, maintenance, and refit, understands the value that SKF brings to the marine industry. This is why ptw Shipyard incorporates SKF’s wide range of advanced marine solutions in their operations, ensuring each vessel benefits from SKF’s commitment to reliability, performance, and sustainability.
