SKF roller and ball bearings are specifically designed and tailored to operate at their best for an array of applications. Therefore, you can feel assured that the SKF bearings you purchase will meet the intended requirements for the reduction of friction, load support, and the proper navigation of moving parts.

In the larger scheme of things, energy-efficient bearings are probably not going to reverse global warming or save the world. Yet Sweden's SKF Group believes it can make a difference. It has introduced a new line of energy-efficient deep groove and tapered bah bearings that promise to use at least 30 percent less energy than their conventional counterparts.SKF uses a combination of materials, machining, and design to achieve those gains. The new bearings are machined to far tighter tolerances than were possible even a decade ago. They are housed in a lightweight polymer cage, and they contain fewer balls or rollers.

It serves as a stand-alone introduction cutting across the array of disciplines necessary to evaluate and comprehend the performance and behavior of most types of rolling bearings. The authors derive the mathematics and theories underlying catalog values given by manufacturers and lead you from the various types of bearings through bearing geometry, applied loading, internal load distribution, deformation, functional performance, and structural materials.

Essential Concepts of Bearing Technology is an ideal introduction for students and a practical guide for professionals who need more than empirical data to evaluate and compare the performance of various types of bearings from different manufacturers in common applications
