SKF Bearings

For many mechanics, products by SKF need no introduction, as this Swedish company is one of the global leaders in the bearing manufacturing industry. SKF bearings and seals are utilized by many well-known carmakers as original parts, while the brand also offers them on the aftermarket. Founded more than a hundred years ago, SKF Group has a huge experience in producing bearings for virtually any assembly that relies on such components, be it a differential, axle shaft, strut, wheel hub, or something else. Today, it still develops various innovations aimed at even higher performance and reliability.

The enterprise has three main research and development centers located in the Netherlands, Germany, and China, which know pretty much everything about bearings. They choose the right alloys for every application, create the most effective designs, implement improved grease, and carefully analyze what happens to SKF seals and bearings throughout their lifespan to address even the tiniest issues. Such a professional approach and an exceptionally high level of expertise enable the company to always remain at a competitive edge, while advanced CNC machinery and other complex production equipment allow for making the end product literally impeccable.

In fact, there are numerous kinds of ball and roller bearings including angular contact, thrust ball, and self-aligning models, along with Y-bearings and plenty of other variations many of which were first introduced by SKF. The company takes into account such factors as the expected loads, temperature, rotational speed, the complexity of installation, and some other parameters an average consumer can hardly imagine – all in order to make sure most buyers don't think about replacement for the next several tens of thousands of miles, or even longer. The bearings used in your vehicle belong to the most loaded parts whose condition influences your safety and the lifespan of more expensive mechanisms, so it makes sense to pick a reliable brand. SKF is your first choice.
