Considering cutting-edge rotary bearing materials
By Brian Dahmer | Director of Application Engineering • SKF Many materials in the rolling elements of bearings — both linear and rotary — have been used for over a century. But slowly, new materials are finding their way into industrial … [Read more...] about Considering cutting-edge rotary bearing materials
SKF insert bearings (Y-bearings)
Insert bearings (SKF Y-bearings) are based on sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a convex outer ring and in most cases an extended inner ring with a specific locking device, enabling quick and easy mounting onto the … [Read more...] about SKF insert bearings (Y-bearings)
More power from smaller motors with new SKF Hybrid deep groove ball bearing
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 … [Read more...] about More power from smaller motors with new SKF Hybrid deep groove ball bearing
