Two SKF scientists, two very different careers, and one common goal: transforming the efficiency, performance, and reliability of modern machines.
Thanks to advances in manufacturing technology, modern bearings don’t fail like they used to. Years ago, the main issue was sub-surface fatigue, explains SKF principal scientist Guillermo Morales-Espejel. Today, most failures are triggered by surface-related problems, such as poor lubrication, contamination, frictional heat, or electrical damage.
With degrees in mechanical engineering from Mexico and a Ph.D. in tribology from Cambridge, Morales joined SKF’s research lab in 2000 to study surface issues in bearings. One early project simulated bearing performance in mixed lubrication environments, where contamination or a lack of
