Electronic technical support request form

We will respond to all eligible technical support queries within two business days. We will log your request in our call tracking system.  We will assign a specific case number to your query and communicate it to you with our feedback. Please mention this case number in all subsequent communication with us relating to your query.

Complimentary technical support will be provided during the first 180 days from purchase of SKF condition monitoring products (90 days for a product upgrade), to assist with unexpected problems during start-up. This support is not a substitute for our training programmes.

You must register your product to use the complimentary technical support.

Single incident support

Customers may contact technical support on an “as needed” basis and receive continued support until the issue is resolved. The flat fee of $250 is payable by credit card. We will refund this fee to customers who purchase a Product Support Plan within 30 days of the initial call.  Customers may contact technical support via our on-line form or call 1-800-523-7514 within the US or +1-858-496-3627 outside of the US.
