Over a Decade of Precision and Performance

At Revolve NTNU, we know that reliability and precision are non-negotiable when it comes to building a high-performance race car. That’s why our partnership with SKF, stretching back to the very first car we built in 2012, has been so crucial to our journey. As a global leader in bearing and rotational technology, SKF has consistently provided us with the finest components, elevating our cars’ performance year after year.

The Backbone of Our Drivetrain and Suspension

SKF supplies us with wheel bearings, motor and gearbox bearings, and suspension bearings. These aren’t just any bearings, they are aerospace-grade, engineered for durability and precision. With SKF’s technology, we’ve been able to design our suspension and drivetrain systems around their components, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. The high quality of these bearings allows us to minimize maintenance, freeing up valuable time for testing and optimization. It’s no exaggeration to say that without SKF’s support, our car would be heavier, less efficient, and far less reliable.

Engineering Collaboration and Technical Support

What truly sets this partnership apart is the close technical cooperation we have with SKF. Their team of engineers supports us in integrating their bearings into our systems, allowing us to fine-tune suspension stiffness and reduce weight. With SKF’s help, we even simulate the stiffness of roller elements in our suspension models, enhancing our designs and boosting on-track performance.

More Than Just Bearings – A Shared Commitment to Engineering

SKF is more than just a supplier of bearings. Their involvement in Formula Student teams worldwide, including Revolve NTNU, shows how committed they are to supporting young engineers and pushing technological boundaries. Their experience in high-performance sectors like aerospace and motorsport is something we benefit from directly. Together, we’re not just building cars; we’re learning, innovating, and shaping the engineers of tomorrow.
