Augsburg, Germany – SKF’s new sealed spherical roller bearings are transforming the elevator industry with a 25-year lifespan and zero lubrication requirements.
Eco-Efficient Features:
Integrated Seals: A triple-lip design blocks contaminants in urban construction zones with particulate levels >1mg/m3.
Energy Optimization: Reduced rolling resistance cuts motor energy use by 18% in high-rise buildings.
Circular Economy: End-of-life bearings are 100% recyclable via SKF’s closed-loop recycling program.
Field Performance:
In a Singapore smart building, the bearings have eliminated the need for annual relubrication, reducing carbon emissions by 4.2 tons annually per elevator.
Global Standards:
The design complies with LEED v4.1 and ISO 14001, positioning it as the benchmark for green building certifications.
