Typical applications:

• Bearings >100 mm (3.9 in.) shaft size
• Outer bearing ring rotation
• Vertical shaft applications
• Continuous high ambient temperatures >35 °C (95 °F)
• Propeller shafts
• Agricultural equipment
• Car, truck and trailer wheel bearings
• Large electric motors

• Designed and tested to perform under real conditions
• Product data include specific test results enabling a better selection
• Strict quality control of every production batch helps ensure consistent performance
• Quality control allows SKF to offer a five–year shelf-life* from the date of production

Production processes and raw materials greatly influence grease properties and performance. It is virtually impossible to select or compare greases based only on their composition. Therefore, performance tests are needed to provide crucial information. In over 100 years, SKF has accrued vast knowledge about the interaction of lubricants, materials and surfaces.

This knowledge has led SKF, in many cases, to set industry standards in bearing lubricant testing. Emcor, ROF, ROF+, V2F, R2F and Bequiet are just some of the multiple tests developed by SKF to assess the performance of lubricants under bearing operating conditions. Many of them are widely used by lubricant manufacturers worldwide.
