System knowledge SKF offers solutions based on a solid understanding of the sealing system and its material development capability, product and process design, testing and proprietary software. In designing solutions, SKF engineers also benefit from a proprietary and new design software which has been developed to describe and characterize the non-linear behaviour of sealing materials
Manufacturing flexibility The unique SKF production model can respond quickly to your supply needs, whether large volumes are required or a single seal for a range of standard or customized seals. Moulded seals production technology allows for cost-effective production of seals in high volumes. SKF has competency in compression, injection and transfer molding technologies and
Testing and analysis The optimization of products, system solutions and services is a continuous, systematic process which includes extensive state-of-the-art testing procedures performed with the utmost care. Data from thousands of seal tests conducted annually feeds SKF’s database with valuable know-how, providing a broad empirical knowledge base for failure analyses, benchmarks, and a consistent flow
Materials development One of the most critical elements in sealing technology is the selection of suitable materials to address challenging tasks. Seals must resist increasingly high temperatures, forces and pressures. Specific media and lubricant properties must also be considered. Some media require stringent regulatory compliance such as for food and beverage applications, while in other
Materials The SKF SEAL JET solution for distributors produces seals using fit-for-purpose, proprietary polymeric materials. A semi-finished tube of one of the five materials below spins inside the SKF SEAL JET DD machine as the unit’s high-precision cutting tools machine the seal. ECOPUR DD is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer with excellent abrasion resistance, low compression
