Super-precision series
18 December 2015
SKF has launched two new SKF super-precision cylindrical roller bearings series, both of which deliver superior performance compared to existing SKF offerings, accommodating higher speeds and lower friction as well as providing a variety of other operational benefits to the machine tool industry.
The single row cylindrical roller bearings series is equipped with an outer ring centred cage, window-type, made of carbon fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The reduced number of rollers, together with the optimised cage, enable the bearings to accommodate higher speed, attain lower operating temperature and lower friction.
The double row series allows higher speed capability in conventional high stiffness belt-driven CNC lathe spindle.
