Bearings have enabled the growth of industries, revolutionized transport, and enhanced overall quality of human life.
Rolling bearings support and guide rotating or oscillating machine elements – such as shafts, axles or wheels – and transfer loads between machine components. They provide high precision and low friction and therefore enable high rotational speeds while reducing noise, heat, energy consumption and wear.
The mounted bearings and housings with rolling bearings support a rotating shaft by compensating for misalignment or transmitting loads to surrounding machine structure.
Super-precision bearings are ideal for machine tools or precision applications where high running accuracy, high-speed performance and high system rigidity are needed.
Slewing bearings consist of an inner and outer ring, where one of the two rings generally incorporates a gear. Together with attachment holes in both rings, they enable a quick connection between adjacent machine components.
Plain bearings with spherical sliding surfaces can accommodate alignment, tilting and/or slewing movements.
Magnetic bearings and systems are ideal for applications demanding high speeds and low vibration.
Thin section bearings are designed to save weight, use less space, reduce friction, increase design flexibility, and provide high running accuracy.
Rolling bearings support and guide rotating or oscillating machine elements – such as shafts, axles or wheels – and transfer loads between machine components.
They provide high precision and low friction and therefore enable high rotational speeds while reducing noise, heat, energy consumption and wear. Rolling bearings are cost-effective and exchangeable machine elements that typically follow national or international dimension standards.
Mounted bearings and housings with rolling bearings support a rotating shaft, which can be bolted on a machine frame or any other substructure.
There is no need to precisely machine a bearing housing in a surrounding casing. This makes these solutions cost efficient and easy to use, while providing full rolling bearing performance.
High speed performance, and high system rigidity, SKF super precision bearings are ideal for machine tools and other precision applications, generation.
Our assortment includes different bearings’ steel grades, including SKF’s trademarked NitroMax for specific designs, giving you up to three times longer service life than standard steel bearings and hybrid bearings with ceramic rolling elements, particularly suited for high speed applications.
Slewing bearings comprise an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually incorporates a gear. Together with attachment holes in both rings, they enable an optimized power transmission with a simple and quick connection between adjacent machine components.
The bearing raceways, in conjunction with the rolling elements and cages or spacers, are designed to accommodate loads acting singly or in combination, and in any direction.
Plain bearings are used in many industries and across many applications where there is a need to cost efficiently and reliably meet the challenge of oscillating movements and possible misalignment.
Explore the SKF plain bearings, rod ends and bushings that meet your application's needs, as well as delivering high reliability, long service life and minimal maintenance.
Supreme Bearings help you find reliable, cost and energy efficient solutions for the entire product life cycle.
SKF Magnetic bearings and systems are ideal for applications demanding high speeds and low vibration. With no physical contact, there’s no need for lubrication and practically no friction, and the equipment's overall power efficiency is also improved. Active shaft positioning and built in vibration management are additional benefits of magnetic bearing systems.
Thin section bearings are designed to save weight, use less space, reduce friction, increase design flexibility and provide high running accuracy.
These bearings can meet highly demanding and specific requirements. They are often used in applications such as aerospace, medical systems, robotics, astronomy instrumentation and machine tools. Our design efficiency can lead to significant savings in space, weight and cost over standard dimensioned bearings.
