Gas springs are used to assist opening, closing, lifting, lowering and damping, movements, for example to support the tailgate or bonnet of a car. There are also many applications in general industry, for example in office chairs or kitchen cupboards.
Gas spring seals
Gas springs are devices used to lift and support in automotive and general industrial applications. The function of the seal is critical for the function of the gas spring.
Rolling resistance is a significant factor in the power losses of vehicles. Seals used in bearings can be a significant contributor due to the friction generated.
Clutch release bearing seals
SKF clutch release bearings represent the first truly clutch-compatible bearing with its patented variable contact raceway geometry. This exclusive variable contact design permits maximum speeds at maximum loads, resists wear for longer life, and minimizes noise and vibration.
Hub bearing unit seals for heavy duty vehicles
SKF seals use advanced material developments and sealing lip designs to provide both low friction and excellent contamination exclusion which results in long service life.
Hub bearing unit seals for light vehicles
SKF seals use advance materials and sealing lip designs to provide both low friction and excellent contamination exclusion which results in longer service life.
Kingpin seals
The main benefit of SKF kingpin seals is the elimination of the frequent lubrication of the steering axle kingpin.
Universal joint seal
The U-joint is a flexible joint which allows the propeller shaft to transmit torque from the gearbox at an angle.
Water pump bearing seals
Water pump bearing seals are specifically designed for water pump applications.
SKF polymer ball bearings are typically used in applications where resistance to moisture or chemicals is essential and steel bearings cannot be used or only with certain restrictions. In those applications, polymer ball bearings are an excellent solution from both a technical and economic perspective as they are characterized by the following properties:
NoWear is a wear-resistant carbon coating that can be applied to the rolling elements and inner ring raceway(s) of a bearing (designation suffix L7DA) or only the rolling elements (designation suffix L5DA).
SKF high temperature bearings are designed to deliver increased reliability, reduced complexity and decreased environmental impact in operating temperatures up to 350 °C (660 °F).
