The challenges of high temperature environments
Subjecting bearings to high temperatures exceeding 180°C (365°F) and high levels of humidity, increases maintenance requirements and costs. Also, limitations of available grease technology do not permit an increase of oven temperature - which would allow faster throughput - without additional planned downtime that might offset benefits.
But it does not have to be like that. Learn from our customers
The graphite cage provides a continuous flow of lubricating
graphite to the bearing balls
High temperature bearing technology
What if there was a way to allow the environmental factors common in high-temperature applications to improve – rather than degrade – bearing performance and reliability?
Based on advanced graphite lubrication, the NSF H1 approved high temperature technology features a fully crowned, pure graphite cage, which generates minute quantities of graphite that lubricate the bearing during operation. This allows the bearings to perform optimally in humid and continuous operating temperatures up to 350 °C /662 °F – without relubrication.
By implementing SKF's high temperature graphite technology, you can:
Reduce planned and unplanned
downtime and costs
Potentially increase
temperature and throughput
Reduce food safety risks
Reduce waste of grease and
clean-up disposal
Improve operator safety

"From thriving in hot, humid conditions, to running without the need for continued relubrication,
and driving increases in throughput, these bearing represent significant advances
on what's been traditionally possible in high-temperature applications."
