Machine tools and other precision applications require excellent bearing performance. High-speed operation capability, high operation accuracy, high system rigidity, low heat generation, low noise and low vibration levels are just some of the challenges.

Rolling bearings for general industrial applications can only partially meet these requirements. Therefore, SKF manufactures a variety of ultra-precision bearings to help original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and end users to further optimize the performance parameters of their equipment and applications.

Depending on the bearing series and application, these advantages will vary, but include high-speed rotation and load carrying capacity, long service life, long maintenance intervals and low energy consumption.

SKF is the world's leading supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics, lubrication systems and services. These include technical support, maintenance and reliability services, engineering consulting and training. SKF has agency rights in more than 130 countries and approximately 17,000 distributors worldwide. In 2017, its annual sales were 77.938 billion kronor and the number of employees was 45,678.
