About This Item

SKF lagertjes

SKF, Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB (Zweeds: Zweedse Kogellager Fabriek) is een in 1907 opgerichte, van oorsprong Zweedse, multinational die onder andere kogellagers, asafdichtingen en smeermiddelen produceert. Onder hun vleugels is ook het automerk Volvo ontstaan en opgegroeid.

De onderneming is opgericht op basis van de ontwikkeling van een kogellager met meerdere rijen kogels, welke zelfrichtend is. Sven Gustaf Wingqvist verkreeg het octrooi op dit product in 1907 in Zweden (patentnummer 25406) en een tiental andere landen. De kogellager was een succes en in 1910 had het bedrijf 325 medewerkers en een filiaal in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. In 1912 had het bedrijf filialen in 32 landen en werkten er 21.000 medewerkers in de 12 fabrieken, waarvan de grootste in Philadelphia in de Verenigde Staten stond.

Momenteel is de SKF de grootste producent van kogellagers ter wereld. Ongeveer 40.000 werknemers werken in ongeveer 100 fabrieken, verspreid over 70 landen. Belangrijke klanten van SKF zijn General Electric, Rolls-Royce plc en Pratt & Whitney. Ook levert het kogellagers voor het Ferrari Formule 1-team. Ook levert het bedrijf kogellagers voor windturbines

The company was founded on Sven Wingqvist's 1907 Swedish patent No. 25406, a multi-row self-aligning radial ball bearing. The Patent was granted on 6 June in Sweden coinciding with patents in 10 other countries. The new ball bearing was successful from the outset. By 1910, the company had 325 employees and a subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing operations were later established in multiple countries.
By 1912, SKF was represented in 32 countries and by 1930, a staff of over 21,000 were employed in 12 manufacturing facilities worldwide with the largest in Philadelphia, PA.

The SKF Group currently consists of approximately 150 companies including the seal manufacturer Chicago Rawhide. Since its founding, SKF's company headquarters have been located in Gothenburg. One recent acquisition was that of Economos, part of Salzer Holding, an Austria-based seal company, Jaeger Industrial and ABBA, Taiwanese manufacturers of linear actuators.
The company's clients include General Electric, Rolls-Royce plc and Pratt & Whitney. It also supplies bearings for Ferrari racing vehicles, used in Formula One races, and is a sponsor of F1. Another focus area is the energy sector, including wind turbines which generate electricity.

Vinden we een keer een TB in een Franse cache, blijkt ie bij het loggen zijn oorsprong in NL te hebben. Eens zien of we hem nog ergens kunnen droppen in Frankrijk op onze laatste vakantiedag maar anders gaat ie gewoon richting Nederland. Zo komt ie natuurlijk wel meteen aan een paar kilometers. 🙂
