A significant milestone has been reached in SKF’s journey towards a net-zero value chain. Together with Swedish steel producer Ovako, SKF has produced a Spherical Roller Bearing (SRB) with 90% less emissions than its standard SRB bearing.

The OCL-M automatic lubrication system from SKF helps maintain the performance of farm machinery throughout the rigours of the harvesting season by reducing chain wear.
A new high-performance two-piece polymer cage pushes SKF’s Hybrid deep groove ball bearing into new limits and gives more flexibility in the design choices. By allowing higher rotational speeds, it operates more quietly and efficiently than bearings with common cages. Furthermore, it enables higher power density, leading to more power output from the same size electric motor.
The success of an automatic lubrication system installed by SKF/Lincoln on two refuse compactor trucks resulted in increased uptime, machine availability and personnel safety, urging the satisfied customers to call for the same lube solution on three more trucks.
The upgrade by SKF/Lincoln of a lubrication store at Durban Harbour has boosted bearing life and machine availability, subsequently delivering significant cost savings for a key customer who is involved in sugar storage for mostly export purposes.
What started initially as sporadic attendance to breakdowns at an iron ore mine in the Northern Cape has escalated into a permanent on-site presence of a supervisor and three technicians from SKF/Lincoln South Africa.
New condition monitoring offer provides anomaly detection solution for a wider range of applications and customers. SKF Axios will be exhibited during Hannover Messe 2022.
Bearing in mind that 50% of all bearing failures are due to incorrect lubrication or contamination, SKF highly recommends that best practices, or at the very least, standard practices be followed when it comes to bearing fitment, removal and alignment methods. This will contribute to massive time and cost savings through extended machine life cycle, optimised plant availability, improved uptime and productivity. And there are environmental benefits too.
The proven SKF MultiPoint Automatic Lubricator TLMP series consists of a centralised, ready-to-use lubrication system that automatically lubricates multiple bearing lubrication points in rotating equipment, offering the perfect solution for applications where there are multiple lubrication points. This technologically advanced system has been specially developed by SKF for industrial applications as well as agricultural and off-road vehicles.
