Application Reviews

If you're looking to improve machine performance, we can recommend alternative bearing specifications tailored to your application.

This may include hybrid ceramic bearings, alternative cage materials, different preload classes or other design enhancements that increase speed capability, improve rigidity, reduce operating temperatures and extend service life.

Application Reviews

When a motorsport team were facing recurring issues with the wheel bearings (specifically 6011-2RS) in their track car, they found that the failures were leading to performance setbacks and frequent maintenance. The team approached Andy Fletcher, Bearing Product Manager for ACORN to provide a solution that would enhance both the performance and lifespan of the bearings.

ACORN proposed a custom solution involving SKF S7011 Super Precision Bearing sets.

Following the results of Andy’s investigation, the new super precision bearings were installed on the track car in time for an upcoming race weekend. Not only did the bearings outperform the previous standard models, but the enhanced reliability and performance contributed directly to the car’s success. The track car won two races that weekend, a testament to the improved bearing solution.
