FAQS

QWhat does the bearing do?

AThe basic function of bearings is principally to reduce mechanical friction. Reducing friction means: 1. machinery will run more efficiently 2. there will be less frictional wear, extending the operating life of the machinery 3. preventing abrasion burn, avoiding mechanical breakdown Bearings also contribute to lower energy consumption by reducing friction and allowing the efficient transmission of power. This is just one way in which bearings are environmentally friendly.

QWhat is a bearing?

AA bearing is a mechanical component whose function is to guide a rotating assembly. Bearings are therefore high-precision parts that allow equipment to move at different speed levels by efficiently transporting notable loads. They must offer high precision and durability, as well as the possibility of working at high speeds with minimal noise and vibration. This type of device is found in all applications such as, for example, the automotive industry, the aerospace sector, construction equipment, machine tools, etc. There are several types of bearings, the four main types are: ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings and needle bearings. While ball bearings are the most common mechanisms, each device has its advantages and disadvantages. That is why we recommend that you compare each of these bearings to determine which is the ideal system for your requirements.

QWhat types of SKF bearings are included ?

ASKF has a wide selection of bearings including: Rolling bearings, High-/super-precision bearings; Bearing units; Bearing housings; Spherical plain bearings and rod ends; Composite dry sliding bearings and FW bushings. SKF produces many other bearings, most of which are intended for specific applications.

QWhat is a roller bearing?

AA roller bearing is a cylindrical or spherical object that aids in the movement of items, typically those that are heavy or large. The primary function of the bearing is to reduce the friction and resistance that occurs while moving an object. Roller bearings are often found in machinery or industrial products, like conveyor belts, where they help facilitate a smooth and efficient transfer of objects by acting as a weight distributing device. Typically, a bearing has many points of contact between a circular housing that contains internal rolling elements
