SKF Bearing Group provides a wide range of products, solutions, and services, including rolling bearings, seals, mechatronics, and maintenance systems. As a global leader in the bearing industry, SKF ensures high performance and reliability through advanced materials and engineering. The quality of materials used in SKF bearing components plays a critical role in determining the functionality and durability of the bearing. To meet the demanding requirements of automotive applications, SKF engineers have introduced VICTREX® PEEK® polymer technology in deep groove ball bearings. The cage is a vital component that must withstand mechanical stresses such as friction, tension, and inertia, as well as chemical exposure from lubricants, additives, solvents, or coolants. It also needs to perform under extreme conditions like high temperatures, shock loads, and oscillation. Therefore, the design and material selection of the cage are crucial for ensuring long-term operational reliability. VICTREX PEEK is an advanced polymer known for its excellent balance of strength and flexibility. It offers superior sliding properties on smooth steel surfaces, reducing friction and minimizing heat generation. The low density of this material also reduces the cage's inertia, which enhances performance even in the absence of lubricants. This means fewer risks of jamming or secondary damage during operation. Most injection-molded cages are made from polyamide 6,6. However, the mechanical properties of this material can change with temperature, leading to aging over time. Factors like operating temperature, exposure duration, and contact with lubricants all influence the lifespan of the cage. For instance, glass-reinforced polyamide 6,6 is not suitable for temperatures above +70°C, especially in environments where corrosive substances like ammonia are present. To address these challenges, SKF uses glass fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (VICTREX PEEK) in its cages. This material is ideal for high-speed, high-temperature, or chemically aggressive environments, such as in generators, transformers, or compressors. VICTREX PEEK stands out for its exceptional strength, durability, wide temperature range, chemical resistance, and ease of processing. It remains stable even at +200°C and is unaffected by temperature changes or lubricant additives. Thanks to these outstanding properties, VICTREX PEEK cages are well-suited for ball and roller bearings, including precision and custom automotive bearings.
