| Summary: | The working conditions prevailing in the offshore oil extraction industry are very arduous and present many problems not previously encountered. Rolling bearings often provide technically superior and also most reliable solutions to problems posed by these most exacting applications. SKF has developed some bearing arrangements on the basis of experience gained at sea and in other fields of rolling bearing application where the operating conditions have also been extremely onerous. The arrangements have been designed to offer a reliable method of overcoming the hostile working environments encountered, for example, in the North Sea and Arctic Regions. |
