Bearing units & Housings

Adapter Sleeve

Adapter sleeves are the most commonly used components for locating bearings with a tapered bore onto a cylindrical seat as they can be used on plain or stepped shafts. They are easy to install and require no additional location on the shaft.

Angular Contact Ball Bearing

SKF angular contact ball bearings are manufactured in a wide variety of designs and sizes. The most commonly used designs are:

• Single row angular contact ball bearings 
• Double row angular contact ball bearings 
• Four-point contact ball bearings 

Bearing Housing

An SKF Bearing housing, together with appropriate SKF bearings constitute economic, interchangeable bearing units that meet the demand for designs that are easy to maintain. As a leading supplier of rolling bearings, SKF also produces bearing housings in a wide range of designs and sizes that are based on experience

Cam Follower

SKF cam followers are based on either needle or cylindrical roller bearings. Instead of an inner ring, they have a threaded solid stud.

Cam Roller

They are supplied greased and capped with a sheet steel reinforced NBR contact seal on both sides.

CARB Toroidal Roller Bearing

CARB bearings are often used to replace the non-locating spherical roller bearing in a locating/non-locating bearing arrangement.

Cylindrical Roller Bearing

SKF cylindrical roller bearings are available in many designs, series and sizes. The majority are single row bearings with a cage. High-capacity bearings, double row bearings, multi-row bearings, single and double row full complement bearings (without a cage).

Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearing

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial loads and shock loads. They must not be subjected to any radial load.

Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Deep groove ball bearings are particularly versatile. They are simple in design, non-separable, suitable for high and very high speeds and are robust in operation, requiring little maintenance.

Lock Nut

Lock nuts with an integrated locking mechanism reduce the cost of the shaft as no keyway is required. Installation is also quicker and easier because no separate locking device is necessary.

Needle Roller Bearing

In spite of their low cross section, needle roller bearings have a high load carrying capacity. Therefore, they are extremely suitable for bearing arrangements where radial space is limited.

Roller Bearing Units

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.

Self-Aligning Ball Bearing

Self-aligning ball bearings generate less friction than any other type of rolling bearing, which enables them to run cooler even at high speeds. Due to low heat generation the bearing temperature is lower, leading to extended bearing life and maintenance intervals.

Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical roller bearings are designed to accommodate heavy radial loads, as well as heavy axial loads in both directions.

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing

SKF spherical roller thrust bearings have specially designed raceways and accommodate a large number of asymmetrical rollers. The rollers have an optimum conformity with the washer raceways to optimize load distribution along the roller length.

Support Roller

Support rollers have an internal design based on needle or cylindrical roller bearings. They have a thick-walled outer ring, which enables them to accommodate high radial loads, while reducing distortion and bending stresses.

Tapered Roller Bearing

Tapered roller bearings have tapered inner and outer ring raceways and tapered rollers. They are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads.

Thrust Bearing

SKF thrust ball bearings are manufactured as single direction or double direction thrust ball bearings. They are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load.

Withdrawal Sleeve

Withdrawal sleeves can be used to mount bearings with a tapered bore on the cylindrical seat of stepped shafts.

Y-bearing

Y-bearings are available singly or as units. Y-bearing units consist of a housing, bearing and seal that is pre-assembled and greased at the factory. These ready-to-mount units can accommodate moderate initial misalignment (Demo) but normally do not enable axial displacement of the shaft.  

Y-bearing Units

Conventional SKF ball bearing units are referred to as Y-bearing units. These units consist of a Y-bearing which is based on a single row deep groove ball bearing and a housing.
