Recently, SKF held the “Reconstructing Rotation to Create a Better Future: 2023 SKF First Half New Product Launch Conference” in Shanghai.
It released 8 new products and intelligent solutions specially designed for wind power, lithium batteries, robots, mining trucks, new energy vehicles and other industries, starting from the industry’s revolutionary products at the forefront of technology.
SKF China and Northeast Asia President Wang Hui and the management team, as well as representatives of industry customers and partners, witnessed the new product launch.
Reliable operation with powerful performance:
A new generation of smart wind power solutions
At this conference, SKF brought a new generation of bearing product solutions, DuraPro series main bearing products. Compared with SKF standard series bearings, SKF DuraPro series main bearing products can increase the load-bearing capacity by 15% and up to 2 times the rated life in the same installation space, and can reduce the bearing weight by up to 25% with the same performance.
The use of SKF DuraPro series main bearing products can meet the design and use requirements of higher rated power wind turbines without changing the size of the external interface.
Choosing SKF DuraPro series main bearing products at the beginning of development can significantly reduce the overall weight of the transmission chain, save the cost of the transmission chain and the cost of the entire machine. The more compact transmission chain structure will also further reduce the restrictions on logistics and transportation, helping wind turbines Steady progress in the “big” era.
Advanced calculation tools, engineering expertise and unique testing that simulates actual application conditions have led to this new bearing design, which also improves the robustness of bearings under mixed lubrication conditions. Further reducing the risk of surface-induced failures.
Seize the opportunities of the times and expand application industries:
Lithium battery and robotics industry solutions
Facing the promising lithium battery and robot industry markets, SKF has launched the 618/619 series of thin-wall bearings.
Compared with other series of standard deep groove ball bearings, SKF 618/619 series thin-wall bearings are thinner, lighter in weight, lower in friction, and suitable for more application scenarios.
At the same time, SKF has optimized the internal geometric design and sealing structure of this series of products through independent research and development technology, thereby improving the lubrication scheme, significantly reducing friction, and effectively extending the service life. Combined with SKF’s local layout of the entire value chain, this series of products has a complete range of models and a relatively short supply cycle, and can respond to customers’ diverse needs in a timely manner.
Adhere to ingenuity and empower traditional industries to upgrade intelligently:
Smart mining truck solution
The tapered roller bearing is an important rotating and load-bearing component of the wheel end, and its quality plays a vital role in the sustained and stable operation of the mining truck.
SKF mining truck Kegelrollenlager have developed more than 50 models, covering 38-360 tonnage mainstream mining truck models at home and abroad.
Compared with ordinary products, this product has a service life of twice as long and an impact resistance of up to 2.5 times, effectively ensuring that the mining truck works stably and reliably. At the same time, SKF can also provide SKF condition monitoring units for mining truck customers, using intelligent solutions to make mining truck operation and maintenance easier and more efficient.
Traveling with wisdom: new energy vehicle solutions
SKF HBU low-friction wheel hub bearing unit reduces friction torque by about 50% through a better ball set design, which can increase the cruising range by 9km.
The entire supply chain, including R&D and production, is deployed in China. SKF’s special Schrägkugellager for passenger car reducers use point contact motion, which not only continues the low-friction operating performance of ball bearings, but also can better adapt to harsh conditions. The lubrication conditions effectively reduce vibration and noise during operation.
Compared with traditional tapered bearings of the same size, the energy efficiency of this series of products is increased by nearly 62%, effectively helping passenger car manufacturers increase the effective mileage of their vehicles.
SKF, an industry pioneer that has been deeply involved in the automotive industry for more than 100 years, has brought HS 1.8 high-speed deep groove ball bearings. This product can maintain high speed performance at ambient temperatures from -40 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius, with a limit speed coefficient of up to 1.8 million nDm. 6208 can reach a maximum motor speed of 28,000r/min.
At the same time, this series of products has excellent silent performance, comprehensively improving the user experience.
Protect device health with the power of intelligence:
Digital product solutions
SKF IMx-1 NB wireless system can achieve more efficient data collection and online monitoring of industrial equipment.
The system uses the latest narrowband IoT technology and is equipped with the compact but powerful IMx-1 NB wireless vibration sensor to achieve convenient collection and cloudification of general data.
At the same time, SKF can provide remote equipment data analysis and equipment diagnostic services based on the actual needs of customers for production and equipment maintenance, helping customers more comprehensively understand the real-time status of equipment, reduce unnecessary downtime, and achieve precise equipment maintenance and optimized spare parts management. .
SKF also brought the Microlog analyzer dBX large-screen vibration analyzer. This product can help customers quickly obtain a variety of vibration data and provide support for customers’ various preventive maintenance plan application equipment.
The product adopts an integrated industrial tablet design, has a 10.1″ screen and reaches IP65 certification level, which can fully ensure reliability in an industrial environment. In addition, the product also has 4 analog inputs, 40kHz bandwidth, 256G storage and 8 hours of battery life. 10+ analysis apps are pre-installed, which can meet all scene analysis needs in one stop.
