Lubrication solutions Poor lubrication causes about 36% of all premature bearing failures But with the right lubrication solution you can create new opportunities to increase uptime and productivity. Along with helping to reduce premature bearing failures and machine downtime, proper lubrication can increase energy efficiency. At SKF, we can help you realize the true potential
Other products and services SKF also offers other products and services to complement the seals business, supporting customers with integrated solutions. SKF has dedicated locations for advanced engineered turned, milled and moulded plastic parts, which are made of high performance plastic materials. The portfolio also includes gaskets and products manufactured using water-jet cutting technology. Some
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 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
Elastomers Elastomers, respectively rubber materials are polymers, which are chemically cross-linked by the vulcanization process. Due to their chemical bonds, they do not melt, but rather begin to decompose at high temperatures. NBR HNBR FKM XNBR EDPM Silicon rubber Polyacrylate elastomer
Polyurethanes Polyurethanes are thermoplastic elastomers which demonstrate the characteristics of elastomers over a wide temperature range and in addition have the processing behaviour of thermoplastics. They can be melted at high temperature and can be processed with traditional thermoplastic processing techniques. Polyurethanes offer outstanding mechanical properties like wear restistance.
