We just broke a new SKF record in our bearing factory in Gothenburg, Sweden! Producing the company’s largest sealed spherical roller bearing to date, an astonishing 50 per cent larger and three times heavier than the previous largest one. See here:
”The world now faces an extremely challenging social and economic situation. At SKF, we are doing all we can to maintain a safe working environment for our colleagues, thereby helping to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
100 years ago the remarkable spherical roller bearing was invented. It has been refined and optimized ever since. This is a brief look back through the years, celebrating a great invention.
