Certified

All rebuild shops are not created equal.

ELEKTRAN has participated in an intensive certification program designed by SKF, the world's largest producer of roller bearings. A direct outgrowth of the global SKF Trouble-Free Operation™ (TFO™) program, SKF certification focuses on the four key factors that influence bearing life: product quality, environment, installation and maintenance.

To receive certification, every employee involved in electric motor bearing work has participated in an in-depth training program and passed a test at the conclusion of each session. Re-certification is required every year.

What are the advantages for you? For starters, the people working on your rebuilds are better prepared than ever to meet your needs. From specialized equipment to training to sophisticated trouble-shooting services, Elektran has the people and tools to help you improve plant productivity by virtually eliminating premature failure to your electric motor bearings.

SKF Electric Motor Rebuild Certification

What does it mean to you?

Bearing failure is a major cause of motor rebuild. By choosing a rebuild shop that is certified by SFK, you can extend bearing life, avoid premature and unexpected equipment failure, and further your goal of achieving maximum productivity and profitability in your facility. Specifically, here's what's in it for you:

*Better rebuilders; better rebuilds

To achieve SKF certification, rebuild shops undergo an intensive training program, conducted by SKF bearing experts. Participants are trained in the proper mounting and dismounting of bearings, and the correct use of lubricants for various operating environments. A better educated workforce means better rebuilds for more uptime and greater productivity in your plant.

*Specialized bearing tools

Proper bearing removal and installation requires specialized tools and considerable skill. When you choose an SKF Certified Rebuild Shop, your work is performed by skilled professionals with access to a complete line of tools and lubricants specifically designed for SKF bearings by SKF engineers. This may include sophisticated bearing dismounting and mounting equipment such as digitally controlled induction heaters.

*SKF Engineering Support

Certified Rebuild Shops have access to the sophisticated technical services of SKF, including failure analysis. By performing detailed performance analyses, SKF engineers can assist in pinpointing the causes of premature bearing failure, and help you take steps to prevent future reoccurrences. Engineers also provide information to replace bearings with the same or better OEM specification.

*Condition Monitoring

Depending on your needs, your SKF Certified Rebuild Shop may recommend special services such as on-site condition monitoring to help you predict and plan for maintenance needs in order to avoid costly line shutdowns or even catastrophic bearing failure.

*Quality SKF Bearings

Perhaps most important of all, an SKF Certified Rebuild Shop is committed to rebuilding your electric motors with only the finest components, including bearings manufactured by SKF, the global leader that has earned OEM quality awards from many of the world's most quality-conscious corporations. SKF also maintains ISO 9000 status.
