🌟 In November 2021, the ngVLA (next generation Very Large Array) received high priority from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, marking it as a cornerstone for the future of ground-based observatories. Together with mtex antenna technology GmbH, we have defined a bearing solution that could meet the telescope's requirements for high load capacity, low friction and extreme precision. We will also help install and adjust the bearings on the prototype telescope in Spain before its journey to its final destination in New Mexico.

When it comes to music 🎶 precision is key – but imagine trying to produce music with 2000 steel balls that like to cause havoc! Martin Molin, @Wintergatan Management, has a grand plan to turn his famous marble machine into a stage show. To perfect the design, and control those balls, he’s getting a bit of engineering help from us. #SKF #Wintergatan #precisioniskey #themarblemachine #collaboration #musicmachine

🌌 Construction of the world’s largest telescope of its kind – ESO’s ELT – is currently happening in Chile and it will contain over 9 500 SKF Vibracon adjustable chocks to enable accuracy and performance. The ELT will, among other things, explore the early galaxies of the universe and help us expand the knowledge about the formation and evolvement of them.

Nel 1919, dai nostri stabilimenti uscì un prodotto che avrebbe rivoluzionato il mondo dei cuscinetti e le loro applicazioni in numerosi settori. Quest'invenzione ha continuato ad evolversi negli anni successivi, migliorando costantemente le prestazioni delle macchine. Stiamo parlando del cuscinetto orientabile a rulli. Inizialmente utilizzati in applicazioni con carichi pesanti, a velocità moderate e a rischio di disallineamento, questi cuscinetti sono ora impiegati in una gamma sempre più vasta di applicazioni, tra cui turbine eoliche, sistemi di propulsione del settore navale, lavorazione dello zucchero, produzione di carta e cellulosa, movimentazione materiali e attrezzature dei settori minerario ed edile. Ma cosa rende questi cuscinetti così versatili? La capacità di consentire la rotazione a basso attrito e di compensare il disallineamento angolare. #SKF #SKFreliablerotation

Our bearings are part of everyday life around the world. But did you know they can also be found on Mars? Each time the Perseverance Mars Rover collects or handles rock and regolith samples in Jezero Crater, key components from SKF facilitate those activities.

Martin Molin, @Wintergatan Management, built the first version of his marble machine by hand. In plywood. Without drawings. The second machine inherited the problems from the first and now he’s many years down the line, drawing his third machine, in the hopes of taking it on a world tour.

Estamos orgulhosos em anunciar que a SKF foi premiada com o Ouro no Prêmio Sindirepa-SP 2024 na categoria Rolamento. Este reconhecimento, escolhido por oficinas associadas, destaca nosso compromisso contínuo com a performance, qualidade e disponibilidade. Parabéns à equipe SKF por mais este reconhecimento de nosso trabalho duro e dedicação!

One of our sweetest partnerships is with the chocolate manufacturer Cargill in Grand-Quevilly, Normandy, France. When they wanted to increase the production capacity of its various workshops, they called us for support. 🍫 We helped optimize the production of their organic cocoa products by sealing and lubricating the fan housings on the roasting machines and improving the bearing sealing in the power grinder. Now the process from bean to bar is just as smooth as the chocolate itself. #SKF
