4 reasons why tribology matters in the Net-Zero Race
20.02.2023 Nele Van Campfort

Tribology, the study of friction, wear and lubrication, is a well known field of study in mechanical engineering. Yet, for non-engineers, this is a rather unknown topic, and its importance is not always well understood. […]

Advanced Materials
New bearings for high-speed applications
20.04.2018 TriboNet

A clear trend in compressor and pump applications is to raise the power density by increasing the rotational speed. To fulfil this requirement, SKF has developed a new range of single-row angular contact ball bearings. […]

Modern Applications of Tribology
16.07.2017 TriboNet

While Leonardo da Vinci commented on the effects of friction in the 1400s, it wasn’t until the mid-1960s that tribology was coined by Dr. H. Peter Jost and accepted as the term for the study […]
