TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Simplistic comparison of downtime cost of a Split Bearing vs. a Solid Bearing |
Downtime Cost components |
Solid Bearing |
Split Roller Bearing |
| (A) Time to replace bearing (Hours) |
9 |
2 |
| (B) Downtime cost per hour |
INR 10,000.00 |
INR 10,000.00 |
| (C) Bearing Cost |
INR 1,000.00 |
INR 2,500.00 |
| Total Downtime Cost = (A x B) + C |
INR 91,000.00 |
INR 22,500.00 |

The above is a simplistic example and illustrates that total downtime cost if one uses a Split Bearing is only a quarter of that of a solid bearing.
The above figures used are conservative in that the time taken to replace a Solid Bearing is often longer than in the example, we have also not factored in the variable labour and rigging costs that would add to the overall downtime cost. If one were to closely analyse those costs the savings would be even greater. |
