Rolling bearings
-
- Rolling bearings support and guide rotating or oscillating machine elements – such as shafts, axles or wheels – and transfer loads between machine components. They provide high precision and low friction and therefore enable high rotational speeds while reducing noise, heat, energy consumption and wear. Rolling bearings are cost-effective and exchangeable machine elements that typically follow national or international dimension standards.
Explore our wide assortment of rolling bearings, accessories and services that best meet your specific performance needs.
-
Mounted bearings and housings
-
- Mounted bearings and housings with rolling bearings support a rotating shaft, which can be bolted on a machine frame or any other substructure. There is no need to precisely machine a bearing housing in a surrounding casing. This makes these solutions cost-efficient and easy to use, while providing full rolling bearing performance.
-
Super-precision bearings
-
- 高running accuracy, high-speed performance and high system rigidity, SKF super-precision bearings are ideal for machine tools and other precision applications such as rolling mills, racing cars and marine vessels. The bearings also minimize noise, vibration and heat generation.
With the widest assortment available, you get a choice of bearings to suit your specific performance need. We also offer bearing customization and global access to our application knowledge as well as service centres in 15 countries spread around the world.
Our assortment includes SKF’s trademarked NitroMax steel grade (for certain designs) giving you three times longer service life than standard steel bearings. We also provide hybrid bearings with ceramic rolling elements, particularly suited for high-speed applications.
-
Slewing bearings
-
- Slewing bearings comprise an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually incorporates a gear. Together with attachment holes in both rings, they enable an optimized power transmission with a simple and quick connection between adjacent machine components. The bearing raceways, in conjunction with the rolling elements and cages or spacers, are designed to accommodate loads acting singly or in combination, and in any direction.
SKF manufactures standard and customized slewing bearings in various designs, with outside diameters from 0,1 to 18 m to meet the demands of particular applications.
-
Plain bearings
-
- For applications with multi-directional, self-aligning movements
Explore the SKF plain bearings, rod ends and bushings that meet your application's needs, as well as delivering high reliability, long service life and minimal maintenance.
Plain bearings are used in many industries and across many applications where there is a need to cost-efficiently and reliably meet the challenge of oscillating movements and possible misalignment. From mining and construction equipment, farm and forestry machinery, all the way to forklift trucks and solar power equipment.
-
Magnetic bearings and systems
-
- Levitate your rotation with contactless, magnetic bearing solutions
SKF Magnetic bearings and systems are ideal for applications demanding high speeds and low vibration. With no physical contact, there’s no need for lubrication, repair or bearing changes. Low energy consumption, active management, repositioning and built-in vibration management are also benefits of magnetic bearings and systems.
SKF offers 130,000 magnetic bearings and high-speed electric motor references in operation across many industries. We know how magnetic bearings and industrial processes are interrelated and can help you overcome your most important challenges. With us, you can find cost and energy-efficient and reliable solutions for the entire product life cycle.

Industrial seals
-
- Sealing solutions for enhanced system performance
Seals have a crucial impact on system performance. By choosing SKF Seals, you can make a difference to the capability, durability and performance of your equipment - reduce friction, extend maintenance intervals and achieve greater value while increasing sustainability. With a seal by its side, there’s nothing our bearings can’t do.
Backed by more than 100 years of industrial application experience, SKF sees every sealing challenge as an opportunity to boost performance. Our customers benefit from our unmatched understanding of both the interaction between bearings, seals and lubrication, as well as the dynamics of reciprocating systems.
For example CR Seals has been setting performance and service life standards for industrial and automotive shaft seals. CR Seals has also been part of SKF since 1990, a span during which we’ve developed new materials, manufacturing processes and designs to create some of the most robust seals on the market.
-
Automotive seals
-
- Solutions for traditional and next generation vehicles
Driven by increasing environmental awareness and increasingly stringent emissions legislation, the automotive industry is going through a period of unprecedented change. .
Wherever you need to prevent leakage, exclude contaminants, contain pressure or reduce friction, our mission is to help you find the right sealing solution for your particular application requirements and commercial needs.
Therefore, we offer an extensive range of seals for engine, driveline, suspension and wheel-end applications in both traditional and hybrid/electric vehicles.

Lubrication management
-
- Lubrication matters. But do you know how much?
For every industry, lubrication is vital to the performance of rotating equipment; when over 40% of maintenance cost are related to poor lubrication, proper management is crucial. No matter where in the lubrication management journey you are, with SKF you can boost the performance that matters to your business.
-
Maintenance Products
-
- Help your bearing achieve its maximum service life
Every bearing has a certain service life potential. Research has shown that, for various reasons, not every bearing achieves it. Important stages which have a major impact on a bearing service life can be recognised during the bearing’s lifecycle. These stages are mounting, lubrication, alignment, basic condition monitoring and dismounting. The stages in a bearing life cycle are extremely important for achieving the maximum service life of the bearing. By applying the right maintenance practices and using the correct tools, you can considerably extend your bearing’s service life and increase plant productivity and efficiency.
