Bearings boost

SKF says the improved internal design and surface finish of its E2 bearings, plus a low-friction grease, means double the bearing life when compared to standard SKF shielded bearings in medium loaded applications. The complete range of shielded, greased-for-life bearings now also includes a sealed variant, which provides minimal interference between the inner ring and seal lip without compromising sealing performance.

Rewinders and rebuilders can take advantage of a high degree of energy efficiency with a bearing solution that is said to typically reduce friction between 30-50%.
