SKF NoWear coated bearings are a type of surface-coated bearing that has a special coating on the raceways and rolling elements. The coating is a thin layer of amorphous carbon that is applied using a unique physical vapor deposition process that applies the wear-resistant carbon coating. The thickness of the coating ranges from 1 to 3 μm, depending on the size of the bearing. The hardness of the coating is 1 200 HV10.

The coating on the SKF NoWear bearing provides several benefits. First, it improves the wear resistance of the bearing, which results in a longer bearing life and reduced maintenance costs. Second, it reduces friction between the rolling elements and raceways, which reduces heat generation and extends bearing life. Third, it improves the corrosion resistance of the bearing, which makes it suitable for use in harsh environments.

The SKF NoWear coating is particularly useful in applications where the bearing is subjected to high loads, high speeds, or abrasive particles. It is commonly used in industrial applications such as pumps, compressors, conveyors, and gearboxes.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, SKF NoWear coated bearings also offer improved energy efficiency and reduced noise levels. They are available in a range of sizes and designs, including deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and tapered roller bearings.

Overall, SKF NoWear coated bearings are a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications that require high wear resistance, low friction, and extended bearing life.
