SKF® Energy-Efficient Ball Bearings for Electric Motors
Exhibit Less Friction and Consume Less Energy
SKF® energy-efficient ball bearings for electric motors introduce ideal alternatives to standard bearings by generating significantly less friction and subsequently reducing energy consumption. These deep groove ball bearings join a growing family of SKF energy-efficient bearing solutions engineered for a wide range of applications.
The bearings exhibit 30% to 50% lower friction compared with conventional types and benefit from an optimized design balance between highly engineered internal geometries, grease, and bearing cages. They perform in combination with a special SKF energy-efficient grease developed exclusively for all SKF energy-efficient bearing types.
In addition to reducing friction and energy consumption, these bearings promote smooth-running performance and generate less noise and less heat. Extended bearing service life up to double the ISO calculated life can be realized.
The bearings comply dimensionally with ISO 15:1998 in a range of selected sizes off-the-shelf to allow for interchangeability within existing design envelopes without requiring any equipment redesigns. They can be specified for electric motors up to 37kW (50hp) with shaft diameters up to 60mm. Custom solutions can be developed to satisfy particular application needs.
