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.
