SKF Zambia Champions Youth Empowerment on the Global Stage!

We are incredibly proud of Bauleni United Sports Academy, proudly sponsored by SKF Zambia, for their outstanding presence at the Gothia Cup 2025 in Sweden!

Not only did the team showcase their football talent, but they also stole the show at the Opening Ceremony—winning the Best Costume Award for their stunning display of Zambian culture through traditional Ngoni attire and vibrant dances.

This unforgettable moment was made possible by SKF Zambia’s unwavering commitment to youth development through the Meet the World initiative—proving once again that SKF is not just about engineering excellence, but also about building brighter futures for our communities.

Hats off to the players, coaches, and the SKF Zambia team for making Zambia shine on the world stage!

Trunnion bearings in cement and grinding mills face extreme conditions like heat, cold, rain, and harsh airborne particulates. To protect these bearings and avoid production headaches, large amounts of grease are often used to purge contaminants from trunnion housings.

But there’s a better way! SKF trunnion support housings offer optimal results:

✅ Extend trunnion bearing service life
✅ Reduce maintenance costs
✅ Reduce grease consumption
✅ Reduce environmental impact

Say goodbye to excessive grease use and hello to efficiency and sustainability with SKF trunnion support housings! Contact us today on [email protected] or [email protected] to learn more and see how SKF can help your operations thrive!

Traditionally, technicians rely on the number of strokes from a grease gun to apply lubricant. However, variations in grease gun design and wear can lead to inconsistent results. That’s where our innovative solutions come in.
At SKF, we offer tools that take the guesswork out of lubrication:

1. Flow Meters: These attach to grease guns and provide precise measurements of grease dispensed.
2. Battery-Driven Grease Guns: Our advanced devices monitor and control the amount of grease applied.

Inspecting a running machine while it’s in motion can be challenging.

Meet the stroboscope: a powerful tool for early detection of abnormalities. SKF offers four models with ultra-bright LEDs, large screens, and multifunctional switches. Adjust brightness and performance levels as needed. Remember, stroboscopes emit bright flashing light, so caution is essential. Safety first!

Excessive noise can pose challenges. When diagnosing bearing issues within a housing, the traditional method involved holding a screwdriver to the ear—an unsafe practice given the proximity to moving parts.

Enter the TKST 21 Stethoscope: it allows you to capture and compare bearing sounds against prerecorded audio samples. No specialized training is needed, and adjustable volume settings ensure comfortable use with high-quality noise-cancelling headphones.

As an industry professional, we frequently encounter various common customer inquiries related to lubrication:

“We are using a blue/red/green grease; what is your equivalent?”

We can match your desired color by adjusting the dye composition. Simple and effective!

But remember, grease isn’t one-size-fits-all. For the best results, consider bearing sizes and types, operating speed and duration, temperature (ambient and operational), contamination levels and load conditions

For personalized assistance, contact your nearest SKF distributor or reach out to us directly at [email protected] or [email protected].
