Unlock the full potential
of your bearings

Your bearings have more to give than to be run from new to scrap. SKF Remanufacturing can unlock the built-in potential of your bearings and restore their full useful life at a lower cost, using fewer resources, and with a shorter delivery time than new bearings. But with the same SKF performance. 

Extend service life while reducing cost and environmental impact

Bearings installed in steel plant equipment, like continuous casters and rolling mills, can commonly be remanufactured between three and six times, extending the service life of the bearings significantly. The remanufacturing process is also less energy-intensive and requires fewer process steps and less new material than producing new bearings. This means a cost reduction of up to 50% compared to new bearings and an emission reduction of up to 90% every time you remanufacture a bearing.

Lower cost, faster delivery, less emissions than new bearings

Save up to 50% of bearing costs

When bearings are remanufactured, most of the parts are reused. Less new material of course means lower cost. Apart from that, the remanufacturing process is also less energy-intensive and requires fewer process steps than producing new bearings.

Cut bearing delivery time significantly

Remanufacturing is often the quickest way to replace a bearing due to a breakdown, especially when it comes to bearings that are not in stock. The remanufacturing process is faster and ensures the same quality as the manufacturing process for new products.

Reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%*

Remanufacturing means significant savings for the environment. Depending on the amount of remanufacturing required, a remanufactured bearing reduces the carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to a new one. Remanufacturing also consumes up to 90% less energy.

* Indicative avoided CO₂ emissions are estimates based on the avoided energy use in SKF’s and SKF’s suppliers production phases. The calculations are based on SKF Group global average data for 2021. Contact us if you require a more detailed calculation for your products.

Get the most out of remanufacturing with condition monitoring

With SKF condition monitoring you can track the status of your plant machinery, letting you know the perfect timing for bearing removal and remanufacturing. 

Damages on bearing detected at earlier stage increase remanufacturing possibility and reduce related cost
