SKF India (Industrial) Sets a New Benchmark in Industrial Reliability with the Innovative VA9A1 Bearing Series

Pune, India, 03 September 2026: SKF India (Industrial) (NSE: SKFINDUS | BSE: 544572), a leading technology and solutions provider for industrial applications, launched its new VA9A1 Spherical Roller Bearing (SRB) Series, engineered specifically for low-speed, high-load operating conditions across industries such as metals & mining, cement, material handling, pulp & paper, food & beverage, agriculture and textiles.

In demanding industrial environments, frequent relubrication, premature bearing wear and unplanned downtime can significantly increase maintenance costs and resource consumption leading to a growing need for solutions that deliver both performance and long-term value.

Developed to address these challenges, the VA9A1 Series delivers up to 50% longer grease life, up to 2x Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and 8% higher grease capacity, helping customers reduce lubrication requirements, improve equipment reliability and lower maintenance costs.

Nrithika Sridharan, Director, Marketing & Strategy, SKF India, Southeast Asia and Middle East (ISEAM), said, "Industrial customers today are seeking outcomes, not just components. Across industries, teams are under constant pressure to improve uptime, improve costs and operate sustainably. With the VA9A1 Series, SKF combines deep application expertise with purposeful innovation to help customers improve operational efficiency and achieve more with fewer resources. By extending grease life and lowering lubrication requirements, this SKF solution delivers a product driving measurable value across the industrial lifecycle."

The new launch is closely aligned with SKF's increasing focus on application specific customer centric offerings. This SKF VA9A1 Series is available through SKF India (Industrial)'s nationwide distribution network.
