SKF BB1-9010, bearing for electric vehicle

SKF deep groove ball bearings are widely used in passenger-car electric drives, including traction motors, e-axle and reducer input/output positions, as well as high-speed auxiliaries such as oil pumps, coolant pumps and e-compressors.

For BEV, PHEV and HEV platforms SKF provides low-friction DGBB to minimise torque losses and heat generation, along with hybrid-ceramic DGBB engineered to mitigate inverter-related electrical effects. These solutions enable more compact packaging, improved drivetrain efficiency, quieter operation, and extended service intervals.

The BB1-9010 bearing, utilised in electrical vehicle reducer, is designed for a service life of 15 years and meets customer requirements for an 8 000-hour load cycle loop.
