GOTHENBURG, Sweden<\/span>, May 18, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0SKF is hosting its<\/b>\u00a0yearly<\/b>\u00a0virtual Tech & Innovation Summit, bringing together industry leaders and experts to<\/b>\u00a0showcase<\/b>\u00a0technologies, products and solutions designed to help close the energy efficiency gap in industrial operations.<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under the theme\u00a0`Closing the energy efficiency gap’, SKF will present tailored solutions that improve energy efficiency,\u00a0reliability\u00a0and uptime across\u00a0various\u00a0applications including data centres, industrial electric motors,\u00a0heavy\u00a0industries\u00a0like mining and pulp & paper\u00a0and digitally enabled operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Electrification,\u00a0digitalization\u00a0and the rapid growth of\u00a0energy intensive\u00a0infrastructure are transforming industries. Customers are under increasing pressure to improve performance while reducing energy use.\u00a0Closing the energy efficiency gap by moving\u00a0from energy-efficiency ambition to measurable operational impact is crucial for sustainable growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We remain committed to helping customers minimize friction and transform their operations to strengthen competitiveness and sustainability,” says Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO, SKF.<\/p>\n

The Tech & Innovation Summit\u00a0highlights SKF’s commitment to addressing real-world challenges through deep application expertise and proven customer-centric innovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our products and solutions are developed to address the operational challenges customers face every day – from thermal management in data centers to reliable performance under variable loads in motors and mills. By combining deep application knowledge with advanced product development and digital technologies, we help customers reduce energy losses, improve reliability, simplify maintenance and unlock measurable efficiency gains in their day-to-day operations,” says Annika \u00d6lme, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President, Technology Development, SKF.<\/p>\n

Join us on June 18 to see how SKF is helping customers close the energy efficiency gap.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Products and solutions<\/b>\u00a0showcased<\/b>\u00a0at the Tech & Innovation Summit include:<\/b><\/p>\n

SKF Magnetic<\/b>\u00a0bearing<\/b>\u00a0solutions for<\/b>\u00a0data<\/b>\u00a0centre<\/b>\u00a0cooling<\/b><\/p>\n

High-speed\u00a0motors with magnetic bearing technology for centrifugal chillers, enabling\u00a0friction-free\u00a0and\u00a0oil-free\u00a0operation and fast restarts after power interruptions. Designed to maximize energy efficiency and uptime in cooling systems that account for up to 30-40% of data center energy use, with up to 12 dB noise reduction and supported by advanced\u00a0software based\u00a0monitoring and diagnostics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SKF Hybrid<\/b>\u00a0ceramic<\/b>\u00a0bearings for Industrial<\/b>\u00a0electric<\/b>\u00a0motors<\/b><\/p>\n

A new optimized hybrid ceramic ball bearing supporting next-generation IE4 and IE5 electric motors by\u00a0eliminating\u00a0electrical erosion, offering up to eight times longer grease life, lower friction and up to 25% higher operating speeds\u00a0than standard steel bearing. The solution enables more energy-efficient motor designs with a compact footprint, global\u00a0availability\u00a0and\u00a0cost savings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SKF Condition<\/b>\u00a0monitoring – Aptitude Insight<\/b><\/p>\n

A unified,\u00a0scalable\u00a0and cyber-secure platform\u00a0on-premises, cloud or SKF SaaS\u00a0that connects operational and information technology environments. Aptitude Insight replaces multiple point solutions with a single platform, embedding decades of SKF\u00a0expertise\u00a0into automated workflows and enabling advanced diagnostics\u00a0edge analytics\u00a0and AI-ready insights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SKF Circular<\/b>\u00a0solutions – Remanufacturing<\/b><\/p>\n

Bearing\u00a0remanufacturing that\u00a0restores products to original geometrical specifications and full performance\u00a0while\u00a0reducing carbon footprint and energy use by up to 90% compared to producing new bearings. Remanufacturing shortens lead times, reduces material\u00a0consumption\u00a0and is backed by SKF warranty and documented CO2 savings, supporting customers’ transition to circular operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AI for the Pulp & Paper Industry – with SKF Product<\/b>\u00a0assistant<\/b><\/p>\n

In the pulp and paper industry,\u00a0speed\u00a0and confidence matter. SKF’s AI-powered Product Assistant helps engineers and maintenance teams quickly access trusted SKF knowledge about products and applications right when they need it. AI here is not about replacing deep engineering\u00a0expertise.\u00a0It’s\u00a0about removing everyday friction by answering questions instantly, guiding product selection, and supporting reliable decisions in demanding operating environments. The result is higher productivity, improved uptime, and more sustainable operations, helping the industry run smarter, safer, and more efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SKF’s Tech & Innovation Summit 2026<\/b>\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0how technology leadership, combined with application\u00a0expertise\u00a0and digital intelligence, enables customers to perform today while transforming for a more\u00a0energy efficient\u00a0and sustainable future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
