SKF Roller Bearings Play Vital Role in ISIS Neutron and Muon Source

The latest SKF rolling bearings and condition monitoring systems are playing a vital role in maximising the uptime of specialised precision devices used in the ISIS neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. In particular, the SKF bearings provide a unique combination of reliability and precision, on motor driven shafts rotating at up to 6,000 rpm and balanced to speeds that are controlled to within ±5 microseconds, while the condition monitoring systems ensure continuous measurement of critical operating parameters.
