Ball bearing units (Y-bearing units) Conventional SKF ball bearing units consist of: an insert bearing (Y-bearing) which is based on a single row deep groove ball bearing with a sphered (convex) outside surface and an extended inner ring (fig. 1) a housing, which has a correspondingly sphered but concave bore (fig. 2). fig. 1 fig. 2 Ball bearing units
Roller bearing units SKF ConCentra roller bearing unit, SYNT series SKF roller bearing units (mounted bearing units) are robust, ready-to-mount bearing units that are assembled, lubricated and sealed at the factory for maximum service life. SKF roller bearing units provide a number of advantages, including: long service life high operational reliability quick mounting minimal maintenance
Bushings, thrust washers and strips This page provides overviews of the available bushing, thrust washer and strip types, their designs, designations, characteristics and main application areas. It also includes references to the relevant product sections with detailed information as well as references to the product tables. Solid bronze bushings SKF solid bronze bushings (table 1) are
Cam followers SKF cam followers are based on either needle (fig. 1) or cylindrical (fig. 2) roller bearings. Instead of an inner ring, they have a threaded solid stud (pin). Cam followers are available in several designs and variants to meet the requirements of different applications and are available: with (fig. 1) or without (fig. 2) a cage with
High temperature bearings and bearing units SKF high temperature bearings and bearing units are designed to deliver increased reliability, reduced complexity and decreased environmental impact in operating temperatures up to 350 °C (660 °F). Because SKF high temperature bearings correspond to the ISO dimensions of grease-lubricated bearings, production efficiencies and cost savings can be realized with a
Hybrid bearings Hybrid bearings have rings made of bearing steel and rolling elements made of bearing grade silicon nitride (Si3N4), which make the bearings electrically insulating. Bearing features Silicon nitride rolling elements can extend bearing service life by offering enhanced bearing performance, even under difficult operating conditions. When compared to same-sized bearings with steel rolling
CARB toroidal roller bearings CARB toroidal roller bearings have one row of long, slightly barrel-shaped symmetrical rollers and torus-shaped raceway profiles (fig. 1). They are non-locating bearings and accommodate exclusively radial loads. CARB bearings are often used to replace the non-locating spherical roller bearing in a locating/non-locating bearing arrangement. Bearing features Accommodate misalignment CARB bearings are
Angular contact thrust ball bearings SKF angular contact thrust ball bearings are separable, i.e. the washers and ball and cage assemblies can be mounted independently of each other. Although originally designed to support the rotary tables of drilling rigs, they are also suitable for other applications. Bearing features Accommodate axial and radial loads High load
Bearing selection process When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance – and at the lowest possible cost. Robustness also is very important because the conditions in which your equipment is assembled, operated and maintained may not be precisely known and may, in
