Applications
In the highly contaminated environment of

a machine tool spindle, one of the primary
causes of premature bearing failure is the
ingress of solid contaminants and/or cutting
fluid into the bearing cavity. To eliminate this
problem, the SKF-SNFA assortment of
sealed super-precision angular contact ball
bearings in the S719 .. B (HB .. /S) and
S70 .. B (HX .. /S) series is an excellent solu-
tion. The ability of the bearings to provide a
high degree of rigidity and accommodate
high speeds with extremely low runout pro-
vides a variety of benefits for different
applications.

Electro-spindle in an internal grinding machine

In an internal grinding machine, where speeds are high and a high degree of rigidity is required, two pairs of sealed super-precision angular contact ball bear-
ings mounted back-to-back, e.g. S7014 CB/P4ADT (HX70 /S 7CE1 T) and S71910 CB/P4ADT (HB50 /S 7CE1 T), and preloaded with springs at the non-tool
end of the spindle, are suitable.

In the contaminated environment of a high-speed milling machine, where a high degree of rigidity is required and radial space is limited, two sets of matched

(HX60 /S/NS 7CE3 DDM), each incorporating a set of precision-matched spacer rings, can be used.

Electro-spindle in a high-speed metal cutting machine
For oil lubricated metal cutting spindles, where speeds are exceptionally high and loads are light, a back-to-back arrangement of open super-precision angular
contact ball bearings, e.g. 7020 ACB/P4ADTL (HX100 /GH 7CE3 T) and 7016 ACB/P4AL (HX80 /GH 7CE3), incorporating a set of precision-matched spacer
rings at the tool end, can be used.
Milling head spindle

For a milling head spindle, where speeds are high and a high degree of rigidity is required, a set of three universally matchable sealed hybrid super-precision
angular contact ball bearings, e.g. S71914 ACBGA/HCP4A (HB70 /S/NS 7CE3 UL), can be used.

Oil is supplied to the feed lines at given
intervals by a metering unit. The oil coats
the inside surface of the feed lines and
“creeps” toward the nozzles († fig. 1),
where it is delivered to the bearings. The oil
nozzles should be positioned correctly
(† table 3) to make sure that the oil is intro B
duced into the contact area between the
balls and raceways and to avoid interference
with the cage.
High quality lubricating oils without
EP additives are generally recommended
for super-precision angular contact ball
bearings. Oils with a viscosity of 40 to
100 mm2/s at 40 °C are typically used.
A filter that prevents particles > 5 μm
from reaching the bearings should also
be incorporated.

Preload with constant force
In precision, high-speed applications, a
constant and uniform preload is important.
To maintain the proper preload, calibrated
linear springs can be used between one
bearing outer ring and its housing shoulder
(† fig. 1). With springs, the kinematic
behaviour of the bearing will not influence
preload under normal operating conditions.
Note, however, that a spring-loaded bearing

Setting the highest standard
for precision bearings
SKF together with SNFA are developing
a new, improved generation of super-
precision bearings. By combining the best
design criteria from both brands, the new
SKF-SNFA assortment delivers improved
accuracy and extended bearing service life
when compared to previous designs.
Table 1 on pages 44 and 45 provides an
overview of the growing, new assortment of
SKF-SNFA super-precision bearings. The
full assortment of SKF high-precision bear-
ings will ultimately be replaced completely
by super-precision bearings.

clean, green electricity. SKF is working closely with global industry leaders to
develop efficient and trouble-free turbines, providing a wide range of large,
highly specialized bearings and condition monitoring systems to extend equip-
ment life of wind farms located in even the most remote and inhospitable
environments.
Working in extreme environments

In frigid winters, especially in northern countries, extreme sub-zero tempera-
tures can cause bearings in railway axleboxes to seize due to lubrication star-
vation. SKF created a new family of synthetic lubricants formulated to retain
their lubrication viscosity even at these extreme temperatures. SKF knowledge
enables manufacturers and end user customers to overcome the performance
issues resulting from extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. For example,
SKF products are at work in diverse environments such as baking ovens and
instant freezing in food processing plants.

Developing a cleaner cleaner

The electric motor and its bearings are the heart of many household appli-
ances. SKF works closely with appliance manufacturers to improve their prod-
ucts’ performance, cut costs, reduce weight, and reduce energy consumption.
A recent example of this cooperation is a new generation of vacuum cleaners
with substantially more suction. SKF knowledge in the area of small bearing
technology is also applied to manufacturers of power tools and office
equipment.
Maintaining a 350 km/h R&D lab

In addition to SKF’s renowned research and development facilities in Europe
and the United States, Formula One car racing provides a unique environment
for SKF to push the limits of bearing technology. For over 50 years, SKF prod-
ucts, engineering and knowledge have helped make Scuderia Ferrari a formid-
able force in F1 racing. (The average racing Ferrari utilizes more than 150 SKF
components.) Lessons learned here are applied to the products we provide to
automakers and the aftermarket worldwide.
Delivering Asset Efficiency Optimization

Through SKF Reliability Systems, SKF provides a comprehensive range of
asset efficiency products and services, from condition monitoring hardware
and software to maintenance strategies, engineering assistance and machine
reliability programmes. To optimize efficiency and boost productivity, some
industrial facilities opt for an Integrated Maintenance Solution, in which SKF
delivers all services under one fixed-fee, performance-based contract.
Planning for sustainable growth

By their very nature, bearings make a positive contribution to the natural
environment, enabling machinery to operate more efficiently, consume less
power, and require less lubrication. By raising the performance bar for our
own products, SKF is enabling a new generation of high-efficiency products
and equipment. With an eye to the future and the world we will leave to our
children, the SKF Group policy on environment, health and safety, as well as
the manufacturing techniques, are planned and implemented to help protect
and preserve the earth’s limited natural resources. We remain committed to
sustainable, environmentally responsible growth.
