CARB toroidal roller bearings
Bearing features
Accommodate misalignment
CARB bearings are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings (fig. 2).
Accommodate axial displacement
CARB bearings compensate for thermal expansion of the shaft like cylindrical or needle roller bearings (fig. 3).
Wide assortment of dimension series
CARB bearings are available with the same boundary dimensions as corresponding spherical roller bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings and needle roller bearings (fig. 4)
Long service life
The special roller profile prevents stress peaks at the roller ends (fig. 5).
Low friction
Self-guiding rollers keep friction and frictional heat at low levels (fig. 6).
Improved wear resistance
All CARB bearings are upgraded SKF Explorer bearings.
Low noise
CARB bearings can reduce noise and vibration levels, for example, in paper machines and fans.
Long bearing system life
CARB bearings provide benefits in self-aligning bearing arrangements (fig. 7). With a CARB bearing in the non-locating position, there are no internally induced axial forces, which results in multiple benefits:
Less load extends the service life.
The bearings run cooler, the lubricant lasts longer and maintenance intervals can be extended.
Noise and vibration levels can be reduced.
