SKF proprietary solutions

The company produces high-tech bearings unparalleled in the world. For instance, ceramic bearings were designed specifically for trending electric vehicles. Their rolling elements are stronger than metal ones, so the products last up to 10 times longer than regular bearings and require little lubrication. Ceramic balls don’t conduct electricity, are lightweight, and heat up less during operation. Apart from this, the manufacturer produces bearings with a polymer cage and rolling elements. Their durability is achieved due to the method of carbonitriding.

X-Tracker are double row angular contact ball bearings created for racing cars. Due to the larger diameter of the outboard row, it contains more balls than the inboard row. Asymmetric design ensures resistance of the part to extra loads and thus affects reliability of the wheel hub. Moreover, the brake disc tilts less during cornering, thus reducing brake caliper piston knock back. As a result, the driver can brake later, increasing lap speed.
