Bearing remanufacturing is increasingly important across industry, especially in the global railway sector. It reduces costs and significantly lowers environmental CO2 emissions.
Benefits of SKF Bearing Remanufacturing
- Remanufacturing costs far less than purchasing new bearings, saving more than 50%.
- Reduces emissions by up to 85% CO2.
- Reduces repair, maintenance and downtime.
- Improves equipment reliability, safety and operating efficiency.
- Saves energy and resources and reduces waste.
Why Remanufacture Bearings?
Instead of disposal or replacement, remanufacturing optimizes costs, energy and resources. SKF operates a global network of 20 railway-bearing remanufacturing service centers, processing approximately 220,000 bearing sets annually for requirements from small to large scale.
SKF applies standards and strict quality controls equivalent to those for new bearings and provides upgrades, component replacement and performance improvements based on actual operating conditions.
SKF Bearing Remanufacturing Process
- Disassembly, cleaning, inspection and bearing-condition analysis.
- Detailed evaluation, reporting and proposed remanufacturing plan.
- Polishing, component replacement and surface treatment to SKF standards.
- Lubrication, seal or surface-coating upgrades when required.
- Final inspection, marking and management of each bearing identification number.
Every bearing remains traceable throughout its life cycle, ensuring transparency, reliability and compliance with new operating requirements.
Environmental and Cost Benefit Calculation
- A new bearing requires approximately 7.25 kWh/kg to manufacture, while remanufacturing requires approximately 1.1 kWh/kg.
- Saving approximately 6.1 kWh/kg reduces CO2by 1.7 kg per kg of bearing (equivalent to saving 34 kg of CO2 for each 20 kg bearing))
- SKF remanufactures approximately 220,000 bearings annually, reducing emissions by approximately 7,480 tonnes of CO2.
Continuous Improvement and Process Digitalization at SKF
SKF continually develops technology, applies artificial intelligence to automate inspection and upgrades data-management systems to improve efficiency, reduce waste and optimize processes. Rotating Equipment Performance service agreements provide customers with detailed feedback and improvements to bearing design and application.
Bearing remanufacturing is important to the circular economy, reducing ownership costs, optimizing inventory and protecting the environment for the global railway industry.
