Leicester Bearings works alongside SKF application engineers to solve complex rotation challenges. We help maintenance teams implement “Predictive Maintenance” using SKF Axios and IMx-8 devices, allowing you to catch bearing defects before they cause catastrophic failure.
By conducting on-site lubrication audits and using SKF’s “Traffic Light” grease selection system, we help our customers extend the intervals between maintenance, significantly reducing labour costs and spare part consumption.
