SKF presents new Energy Efficient bearings saving at least 30% energy consumption 2007-02-16, 09:30CET SKF has developed a new family of bearings that reduce energy consumption by at least 30% compared to standard ISO products. This new bearing family comprises the two bearing types that are the most used bearings in the world, deep groove ball bearings and tapered roller bearings. With this innovation SKF is now, on its 100 year anniversary, presenting a new technical solution that will provide the world's industry with the possibility to substantially increase its energy savings. "This new family of bearings is the result of a focused effort from the SKF organizations to develop a new bearing family that while maintaining the service life and load carrying capacity of standard ISO bearings, will substantially reduce the energy consumption", says Tom Johnstone, President and CEO of SKF. "Starting with the most used bearings in the world we ensure that our solution can be used in most machines in most industries around the world. That way we provide the possibility of reducing the world's energy consumption and also reducing customer's energy costs", Mr Johnstone continued. |
