Bearings 2.0: What the future holds

Expert speakers will address industry trends and illustratehow SKF’s innovations in bearing and rotating machinery will change the way end-usersand manufacturers operate.

Both days will include keynote addresses on topics such asthe future role of bearings in industrial applications, how digitalisation isdriving development around the rotating shaft and how these developmentscombine to enable the growth of outcome-based business models.

Within the expert sessions that follow, the role ofmodelling, artificial intelligence and machine learning in enabling theimprovement of bearing design, performance, lifespan and predictability will beexplored.

In particular, there will be a focus on prognostics and thebenefits of accurately predicting bearing performance; life models, such asSKF’s GBLM (Generalised Bearing Life Model) which can now be applied to a selectionof hybrid bearings; the circular economy and the demand for bearingremanufacturing and recycling of bearing-related materials.

The latest developments within deep groove ball bearings andtheir applications within electric vehicles will also be presented.
