SKF Infinium bearings represent a breakthrough in circularity and additive manufacturing. For the first time, these bearings can be reclad and reused repeatedly, with no limit to the number of remanufacturing cycles. Using advanced Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology, SKF has created a solution that fully removes damaged areas and seamlessly adds fresh material to the ring, preserving the core of the bearing.
This innovative multi-material design delivers exceptional performance and durability, customized for demanding applications like pulp and paper or mining. By enabling multiple remanufacturing cycles, SKF Infinium bearings maximize output for every ton of bearing steel produced, reducing waste, extending bearing life, and lowering total cost of ownership – setting a new standard for sustainable and efficient operations.
