Vibration and shock can quickly impair joint integrity and negatively affect overall product performance, especially in demanding applications, like vibrating screens. 'BMG's Lock Bolt pins and collars  which are designed to replace bolted and welded joints, provide high-strength, vibration-resistant fastening that reduces downtime and improves safety standards, by removing sheet gap and maintaining tension over time," says Maryna Werner, Fasteners Business Development Manager, BMG. 

BMG - leading engineering solutions specialists - provides engineering components and support services to all sectors, to ensure high productivity, reduced energy consumption, minimal downtime and long service life of systems.

Modern machinery often requires chains of precisely the same length to be used in pairs or other multiples. For these applications, BMG specialists recommend Tsubaki Match & Tag chains, which guarantee a maximum chain length difference of 0,50 mm, independent of the total chain length. Advanced Tsubaki chain length measurement technology ensures smooth, accurate and reliable machine actuation. Although industry standards relating to the manufacture of chain components set a tolerance for the accuracy of length, regulations do not cover the assembly of components into complete chains. This means there is a possibility that a significant error will accumulate if a chain length includes several links that are only just within tolerance.

BMG's highly experienced team of electric motor designers and engineers has worked closely with global electric motor specialists to develop high efficiency electric motors that set the benchmark locally for arduous duty, high efficiency motors. The flagship Synergy range of asynchronous cast iron motors complies with the efficiency requirements as stipulated in SANS 60034-30:2009 and has SABS certification, which translates into production efficiency advantages for the local market.

BMG's online shopping portal, which was launched in South Africa two years ago, is constantly upgraded to meet dynamic market requirements. "The BMG e-Commerce platform - which was developed to enhance the convenience for customers to procure engineering consumables - is gaining popularity at a time when our country faces rising fuel costs and consumers are reluctant to use their motor vehicles," explains Darryn Wright, group marketing executive, Engineering Solutions Group (ESG).

BMG's range of BTC bearings and components - which is manufactured exclusively for BMG to stringent quality and safety specifications - has been extended to include new bearing block units.

While economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic has been slower than expected, industrial equipment supplier BMG is confident that this will speed up as infrastructure development starts to increase following the pandemic.

"These robust BTC bearing block units have been developed recently for dependable use in many rotating equipment applications in general industry and the agricultural sector. The newly designed red components have an improved quality housing to ensure a stronger component that will not crack in tough conditions and a higher grade of steel for greater load capacity and speed stability," explains Carlo Beukes, Business Unit Manager, Bearings Division,BMG. "Other important advancements include an efficient amount of Shell Alvania EP2 grease, eco-friendly biodegradable packaging materials to reduce our carbon footprint and installation and maintenance instructions."

BMG's Nord-Lock range of bolting solutions includes Expander System pivot pin components that comprise advanced pivot pin technology, to offer dependable solutions that combat the challenges of lug wear in diverse industries. Pivots, which are at the centre of any rotational movement, often experience lug wear, which occurs due to the clearance between the bore and the conventional pin. This is commonly repaired with line boring - a technique associated with high costs and protracted downtime.

Equipment supplier BMG's regional service centres (RSC), which are situated in the major city centres and commercial nodes throughout the country, play a critical role by providing engineering solutions - including hydraulics, lubrication, greasing and pneumatics services - designed to optimise productivity for every customer.

BMG's range of Garlock sealing products includes a versatile sealing system that replaces mechanical seals in industrial pump applications. Garlock's Hydra-Just system is a reliable, leak-free rotary sealing system, which consists of a minimal number of components and comes completely split, eliminating the need for a costly dismantling process or backup equipment. Machinery can be serviced without having to uncouple the motor.

BMG plays a critical role in the sugar sector, not only during the operational period of sugar production, but also in off-crop seasons, when maintenance and refurbishment on sugar farms and at mills is essential. The BMG team works closely with sugar farmers and engineers at mills by providing engineering components and support services to enhance production efficiencies, minimise downtime and extend service life of equipment.

Abrasive Flow Solutions (AFS), specialist in the manufacture of slurry-related valves, has celebrated its first year of business. AFS was established by the Engineering Solutions Group (ESG) of Invicta Holdings as part of the group's strategy to strengthen its position in the valves sector. The team works closely with sister company, BMG, to extend its services in Africa through the design, distribution,
