The new SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings are designed to improve machine efficiency and to save energy, see presentation Energy Efficient solutions.

These bearings belong to SKF E2 performance class family, providing:
| – | optimized internal geometry for reduced friction |
| – | a shield on both sides to protect the friction-reducing features |
| – | new cage design |
| – | unique lubricant |
| – | optimized internal geometry for reduced friction |
| – | a shield on both sides to protect the friction-reducing features |
| – | new cage design |
| – | unique lubricant |
- Optimised internal geometry for reduced friction
- a shield on both sides to protect the friction-reducing features
- new cage design
- unique lubricant
– optimized internal geometry for reduced friction – a shield on both sides to protect the friction-reducing features – new cage design – unique lubricant
The designation follows the basic SKF designation system. To clearly show the new performance the prefix "E2." has been added.
