Called the Generalized Bearing Life Model (GBLM), its development will assure that SKF customers and distributors pick the right bearing for the best application, anytime.Until now, it is difficult for engineers to predict whether a hybrid bearing will outperform a steel one out of a given application, or perhaps the possible performance benefits that hybrid bearings such as FAG bearings enable are worth any additional investment they might need. The conventional equations engineers use to calculate the rating life of an impact do not reflect the real-world performance of hybrid designs.
Until now, many experts have difficult for engineers to predict whether a hybrid bearing will outperform a steel one out of an application, or if the possible performance benefits that hybrid bearings enable are worth any additional investment required. The conventional equations engineers use to calculate the rating life of an impact don’t reflect the real-world performance of hybrid designs.
To address this challenge, in 2012 engineers at SKF did start to develop an amount become GBLM. A primary version on the model was presented at Hannover Messe in 2015, but now the model had not been ready to perform calculations for hybrid bearings. Four additional years were essental to scientists and technicians at SKF’s facilities inside Netherlands and Austria to feature this feature into GBLM.
The SKF E2 deep groove ball bearing is specially well suited for electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, fans along with other applications seen as light-to-normal loads and relatively high speeds.Results have demostrated that, when placed on a shielded deep groove ball bearing, the revolutionary low-friction grease developed for the SKF E2 bearing might last at least two times over conventional greases utilised in similar standard bearings.
Medium size NJ design cylindrical roller bearings, which might be typically utilized on the intermediate shafts of gearboxes, are also available inside E2 performance class.
