Manufacturer overview
SKF was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1907 following the development of the self-aligning ball bearing. Gothenburg remains its headquarters. The manufacturer has developed from bearing production into a wider portfolio addressing rotating equipment and its operating conditions.
Bearings and bearing units sit alongside seals, lubrication systems, condition monitoring and related services. This combination is a meaningful distinction for industrial buyers: bearing performance depends on installation, lubrication, sealing and the condition of the surrounding equipment, not only on nominal dimensions. SKF's technical portfolio reflects that wider view of machine reliability. For dealers and maintenance purchasing departments, complete bearing designations and suffixes are useful starting points, while application information helps distinguish a straightforward replacement from a requirement involving a different operating condition.
