Come and meet a bearing and maintenance specialist

3 min.

On June 25 and 26, we will welcome a distinguished guest to Mateza. Ing. Vladimír Oravčík, a long-time specialist from SKF, will visit our Jihlava branch on June 25 and our Brno branch on June 26. This is a unique opportunity to discuss practical technical topics with an expert who has dedicated his entire professional life to bearings and maintenance.

Who is Vladimír Oravčík

Vladimír Oravčík is a graduate of the University of Žilina, majoring in mechanical engineering technology with a focus on machining theory and bearing manufacturing. He has therefore been dedicated to technology since the very beginning of his professional career – and not only theoretically, but above all in real operations.

He has 14 years of experience in the maintenance of a metallurgical plant and 5 years with an SKF distributor. It is this combination of experience from heavy industry and the world of bearings that makes him an expert who understands maintenance issues from both sides – from the operations side as well as from the perspective of a technical solutions provider.

Career at SKF

Since 2003, he has worked at SKF Slovensko s.r.o., where he held positions with responsibility for service and key accounts. He worked with MAPRO, COMO, AM, and LuSy product areas and specialized in demanding industries – cement plants, the steel industry, and the paper industry (Pulp & Paper).

Service practice: from damage analysis to maintenance assessment

As part of his service activities, Vladimír Oravčík focuses on a wide range of specialized tasks, which include:

  • bearing damage analysis,
  • RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis),
  • machine alignment,
  • thermal imaging diagnostics,
  • supervision of mounting and dismounting of bearings,
  • installation of lubrication systems,
  • maintenance assessment – evaluation of maintenance conditions and processes.

He is therefore an expert who can advise not only on choosing the right bearing, but also on how to prevent failures and extend machine lifespan.

Trainer and speaker

In addition to his service practice, Vladimír Oravčík has long been dedicated to training and sharing experience. He conducts training focused on the use of MAPRO instruments, hydraulic bearing mounting, and bearing technology in general. He also lectures at professional conferences and for universities.

When and where to meet him

  • Thursday, June 25 – MATEZA Jihlava branch
  • Friday, June 26 – MATEZA Brno branch

Mr. Oravčík will be at the branch all day and will consult on specific issues with both our staff and customers. No registration is required – just show up.
If you are dealing with a specific problem with bearings or maintenance, bring your questions along. Here, you will get answers from someone who has solved similar situations in practice countless times.
