Changing to NSK Molded-Oil bearings reduces maintenance costs at a car wash

The operator of a car wash line in Germany repeatedly had to replace bearings in the rotary unions of the system’s wash heads, leading to costs of over €12,000 per annum for spare parts alone. However, maintenance costs were reduced to zero after replacing the bearings with NSK Molded-Oil deep groove ball bearings featuring DDU seals.

An average car wash in Germany cleans more than 110,000 cars every year. In terms of the drive components in the wash bars and heads, the application is equivalent to an endurance test with water and cleaning agent spray. The bearings in the rotary unions of the wash heads undergo the same treatment, and in this case, they were not up to the task.

Fundamentals of vibration analysis - Why is vibration analysis essential?

Any machine with moving parts is designed to operate within a predefined level of vibration, but when this exceeds a certain threshold, it may be an indication that the machine is deteriorating.

Therefore, vibration is a useful tool for investigating the status of rotating machinery, such as electric motors, pumps and generators. Here, Chris Robson, sales director at electro mechanical specialist Houghton International, discusses the importance of vibration analysis.
