Meanwhile, according to SKF's Senior Vice President, Technology Development AB,ika Olme, explores and maximizes most likely the technology to develop smart and clean solutions is what she does on the SKF.

"We are accelerating our efforts to develop and bring to the market innovative solutions that increase productivity, efficiency, reliability, and cost effectiveness, as well as provide sustainable value for industry and society," saidika.

Products and Solutions Introduced at Tech and Innovation Summit:

SKF Infinium - The Latest Generation Of Bearing

The SKF is changing production and use of bearing with a revolutionary model that maximizes the use of material through a circular approach. The model allows the next generation SKF Infinity of bearing, where the product has several life cycles with much less energy consumption and raw materials compared to new production, reducing CO2 emissions through a design focused on circularity. This approach is not only feasible, but also beneficial for customers, as evidenced by the performance of the Infinium SKF in some of the most challenging operating environments.

HVAC Solutions Innovative To Overcome Climate Change

Buildings are responsible for about 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, so energy efficient HVAC solutions are essential for reducing environmental impacts. High-speed electric motors on magnetic bearing have emerged as a leading technology in addressing energy and environmental efficiency challenges in the HVAC industry.

Magnetic Bearing eliminates friction and wear, does not require oil lubrication, and ensures a clean and pollution-free operating environment. Already used in the energy industry, semiconductors, and machine tools, this technology can increase energy efficiency by more than 95 percent, far exceeding standard motors. Magnetic Bearing provides reliable, efficient, and sustainable solutions in response to concerns about climate change and energy use.

Reliability Improved On Trains

The new range of SKF cone bearing rollers, developed in close collaboration with customers, improves performance and durability for demanding track conditions. They can handle dynamical loads up to 1.5 times higher and reduce friction by up to 20 percent on the output axis pad, leading to lower energy consumption and better sustainability.

Solutions That Improve Performance For The Industrial Electricity System

With global businesses targeting net zero, the need for electric solutions is increasing. At SKF Tech & Innovation Summit, the main focus is the SKF hybrid ceramic bearing designed to meet the growing needs of electrification and automation.

SKF's hybrid Ceramic Bearing, which integrates steel rings with ceramic spinning elements designed, can reduce friction by up to 50 percent with engine designs optimized and increase operating speeds by up to 25 percent compared to fully steel bearings. Bearing longevity, reduced energy use, and minimal maintenance needs make it an efficient and sustainable choice for superior performance in many applications.

Advance With Innovation Through Real Time Burden Detection In Mining Sector

Mining companies need reliable data to optimize operations and meet ever-increasing demand for minerals. One of the most remarkable innovations introduced to the fast-growing mining industry is the SKF Insight bearing-sensor system, which provides real-time load data to the engine control system. This helps customers increase their output, efficiency, and productivity, thereby maintaining their competitiveness.

Innovative Solutions To Improve Machine Tool Productivity

Along with the development of precision, automation, and miniaturization, demands on machine tools continue to increase. Productivity is driven by speed, so the SKF has developed an innovative UltraFast super-precision bearing series, providing a perfect balance between speed and stiffness for faster engine performance. This bearing also offers a significant reduction in torque friction and other features to support efforts towards reducing energy use.
