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, SKF 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.
Lubrication systemsUp to 40 per cent of premature bearing failures are caused by lubrication problems – whether it is due to too much, too little, the wrong type or contaminated lubricant. SKF automatic lubrication technologies offer a number of important advantages, from faster production and reduced maintenance costs to a healthier, more environment friendly workplace. They include the industry’s most advanced, automated minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) systems for machining processes as well as centralised, multi-point lubrication systems for drives, bearings and auxiliary equipment. 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 provides a unique total offer to machine tool manufacturers all over the world. The main bearing types for the machine tool industry are super-precision bearings, angular contact bearings, cylindrical roller bearings and various types of customised bearings for machine tools and other applications where precision, quiet running and low friction rotation are essential. These super-precision bearings are available in a very wide range of shaft sizes, and bearing specifications are in line with international standards to secure interchangeability.
