SKF is a Swedish brand of the biggest bearing producer, that has gained worldwide acceptance and fame. In 32 countries the SKF company owns nearly 140 enterprises with over 40 thousand employees. Six Sigma, an innovation management system adopted in SKF plants, securely ensures a complete quality management, enabling the company to maintain its pace-setting position in the global ranking.
The SKF brand - 100 successful years
SKF was established by Sven Gustaf Wingqvist, a Swedish engineer and inventor in 1907. In the same year, the first in the world self-aligning ball bearing was created at the company’s plant in the city of Gothenburg. A successful start has enabled the company to increase the production capacities and introduce new types of products in a short period.
Branches were opened in France and Germany in 1908. In 1911, the company established the first foreign factory in Luton (Great Britain). In 1915, the company's leaders decided to create a second bearing brand by opening the VOLVO subsidiary. In 1926, VOLVO began car manufacturing, and, 9 years later, it separated from the SKF and became an independent enterprise.
Since 1938, SKF started production of HBU bearing sets (double-row radial bearings). The company established research and testing centers in a number of European countries and in the United States. A method of ball bearings lifetime calculation proposed by SKF experts has been approved by ISO as the world standard.
The takeover of the US company Chicago Rawhide (CR) in 1990 enabled SKF to start the manufacture of seals. Over the last decade of the 20th century, the company has developed and arranged manufacture of the following new products in the range of sub-assemblies:
- HBU bearing set fitted with a sensor for brake systems;
- compact hub unit with half-axle;
- electromechanical brake system of heavy-duty trucks.
Premium quality of SKF bearings is a guarantee of durability and reliability
Today the SKF company is one of the world's largest bearing producers with a yearly output of about 600 million pieces, accounting for 95% of the product market.
The bearings provide a high load-carrying capacity, despite their modest size and low weight. The use of them provides reduced noise level in rotation and decrease of fuel consumption (thanks to moderate friction). Even in an extended speed range, SKF bearings have high stability of characteristics and durability.
