SKF Overcomes Current Leakage Challenges in Advanced Electric Vehicle Powertrains

April 4, 2024

SKF has developed a novel solution to an emerging problem in electric vehicle (EV) powertrain design. The SKF Conductive brush ring provides a reliable electrical connection between an EV eAxle rotor shaft and its housing, which increases eAxle lifetime expectations. When used in combination with SKF Hybrid ceramic ball bearings, it helps to even further alleviate parasitic current effects that can lead to premature failure in bearings and other components.

Ceramic Bearings for Water Processing, Water Filtration and Liquid Handling Applications

October 1, 2016

Bearings are an essential component in the majority of mechanical designs and equipment. It is important to consider the most effective materials when designing industrial machinery, especially in applications where water or other liquids are present. Many materials will be unable to overcome the challenges associated with operating in a wet or corrosive environment.

Have a Pump, Motor, Generator, Turbine, Compressor or Gearbox - There is a Bearing for That!
