Increasing industrial electric motor efficiency offers the promise of cutting energy consumption worldwide. In the US and EU alone, motor-driven equipment for light to medium-loaded applications - including pumps, compressors and fans - consume roughly 1,36 trillion kWh per year. Which makes bearings eco-friendly components by default - by reducing friction, bearings reduce the amount of energy that machinery requires. SKF energy efficient deep groove ball bearings push this inherent advantage to a new level.
30 % less friction with next generation bearings. Through optimized internal geometry, a unique polymer cage, low-friction grease, the energy efficient deep groove ball bearings exhibit significantly less friction torque, or friction loss, than conventional bearings - 30 % reduction or more, depending on bearing size and application conditions.
