productEmissions cut
In a normal-sized continuous steel casting machine with 400 roll lines, this means an annual CO2 reduction of about 600t. ConRo rolls are relubrication free; this eliminates grease consumption, saving customers money. Plus, says SKF, the robust design of ConRo extends roll line unit service life by 25% or more.
productHealth indicator
A vibration and temperature monitoring device designed for rotating machinery in constant operating conditions has been launched by SKF. The SKF Machine Condition Indicator is said to cost less than a standard industrial accelerometer and frees up some of the time maintenance engineers spend on problem detection.

Hybrid ceramic bearings have proved so effective in
challenging applications that ranges have expanded to
serve ever-more demanding environments, as Phil Burge,
country communication manager at SKF, explains
productCar wheel end
The new SKF Low Friction Hub
Bearing Unit, an energy efficient
wheel end for cars, is said to reduce
friction by more than 20% compared
to previous generations of SKF
standard hub units, and provide CO2
savings of up to 0.6 g per km.
productGlobal network
Since launching the SKF cloud in November 2012, the global network of SKF Remote Diagnostic Centres has been connected, bringing together IT solutions and making all application data accessible in a single cloud-based system.
productEnergy costs cut
SKF has introduced a solution for aeration blower systems that is said to cut energy costs by up to 40%.
productBearings boost
SKF Energy Efficient (E2) deep groove ball bearings are helping electric motor rebuilders and rewinders to offer an energy efficient rebuild.
productEnhanced efficiency
SKF Energy Efficient (E2) deep groove ball bearings, which enhance energy efficiency through reduced bearing friction, have low energy consumption and can offer other benefits to rewinders and rebuilders of electric motors.
productBearing success
SKF has extended meantime between failure for British baking firm Warburtons from six months to three years with its extreme temperature Y-bearings (insert bearings), a dry lubrication option that removes the need for high temperature greases.
