SKF NoWear[R] coated bearings.Patented NoWear[R] coated bearings from SKF SKF Svenska Kullagerfabriken SKF Svenska Klätterförbundet (Sweden) SKF Smithsonian Kite Festival SKF San Antonio Kelly Field Annex (Lackland AFB, Texas) can withstand severe operating conditions due to sudden load variations, high operating temperatures, poor lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of , vibration, smearing Smearing is a term used in rock climbing. It is the practice of using the sole of a shoe against a flat rock face. Smearing can be one of the most insecure and technical techniques used in climbing, requiring a combination of leg/ankle tension, foot placement, and good , and/or contamination. These coated bearings can optimize optimize - optimisation bearing speed and life in countless demanding applications, including paper machinery, compressors, fans, hydraulic pumps and motors, and equipment for material handling, mining, and construction, among many others. Compared with standard uncoated types, NoWear bearings are harder, generate less friction (and resulting heat), and can better tolerate potential damage from contamination and marginal lubrication.
