Extend asset life and improve sustainability by rebuilding machinery.

Instead of merely discarding and replacing certain key and expensive machine components, remanufacturing can often breathe new life into equipment. You can enjoy lower maintenance costs, less frequent failures, enhanced reliability, lower total cost of ownership, environmental benefits and more.

SKF Re-manufacturing and re-building

Remanufacturing services

Remanufacturing is a major contributing element to reducing the life cycle costs of industrial equipment, giving overall benefits such as:

  • Extended operating life of the component
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Enhanced reliability for production up-time and productivity
  • Reduced likelihood of failures
  • Better maintained condition of replacement stock
  • Improved overall asset reliability
  • Input for reliability improvements

SKF offers services for the remanufacturing of bearings, gearbox/driveline, and machine tool spindles.
