For over 40 years, SKF and INSA Lyon - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon have been advancing tribology and lubrication science. Now, we launched our third research chair: “Reimagining Lubrication – Advanced Bearing Lubrication for a Better Tomorrow.” Our CTO Annika Ölme ♦️ and Greg Zimmerman joined the inauguration, reinforcing the importance of partnerships that turn academic research into industrial solutions for real-world challenges in aerospace and beyond, where performance, safety, and sustainability are critical. A proud moment for us as Guillermo E. Morales Espejel, Principal Scientist, received an Honorary Doctorate from INSA Lyon—recognizing his outstanding contributions to tribology and bearing technology. His ability to bridge theory and application has shaped our product development and continues to inspire the next generation of engineers. Together, we’re fighting friction and driving sustainable progress. Link to video in comments. #Innovation #Collaboration #LessFrictionMoreProgress #Sustainability
congratulations!
What an exciting image to see SKF Group in the auditorium of ‘my’ INSA Lyon - Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon after so many years
Congratulations on your new 'Reimagining Lubrication' chair with INSA Lyon. Your focus on safety and sustainability is commendable, but requires immediate consistency. The life-saving DUOBBRAK patent (filed October 19, 2018) represents the ultimate expression of road safety and sustainability, using a component that is at the heart of your tribology: the One-Way Bearing/Sprag Clutch. The institutional inertia and the documented removal of previous comments (censorship) on this solution contrast with your academic commitment. Consistent with your stated values: Does the SKF Group manufacture or market the One-Way Clutch/Sprag Clutch component that saves lives? Italy awaits a signal of ethics that overcomes political friction. #DUOBBRAK #SafetyFirst #InstitutionalHarm
A great moment for science, a proud moment for SKF and a special moment for a special person - Guillermo E. Morales Espejel !! 🎉
Congratulations Guillermo E. Morales Espejel on a well-deserved recognition!
Congratulations Guillermo
