With 100 years of hands-on experience in rotating equipment, SKF has a unique understanding of the conditions affecting bearing life, spindle uptime, product quality and plant productivity. As a manufacturer itself, the company has implemented many of these solutions in its own plants. The result has been a quick return on investment through higher productivity and reduced maintenance.
Drawing on this experience, SKF offers a broad range of cost-effective solutions for machine tool operations – from specialised bearings, sealing and lubrication solutions to mechatronics, automated maintenance and machine monitoring systems.
Super-precision bearingsThe accumulated experience of super precision bearings, particularly within the design and manufacturing of special bearings for aerospace and machine tool applications, makes them the benchmark for high-quality, advanced technology bearings. Strengthened with SNFA, developer and producer of super-precision bearings, SKF now provide a unique total offer to machine tool manufacturers all over the world. The main super-precision bearing types are angular contact ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, double direction angular contact thrust ball bearings, angular contact thrust ball bearings for screw drives and other various types of customised bearings for machine tools and other precision applications where extended speed capability, high accuracy, good contribution to system rigidity, low heat generation and low noise levels are some of the challenges.
